… “It’s all about having fun” is not an excuse for a coach to shirk teaching kid’s the fundamentals of a sport. Kid’s aren’t having fun if they always lose. The only people that say losing doesn’t matter are the losers. And if the bases are loaded, you don’t tell kids that the play is on first… and expect me not to stand up and shout otherwise.
