When my kids were young (son and daughter), I pushed them pretty hard.  I had no illusions about either of them playing at a big time college program or even receiving college scholarships.  My son (football) is the kind of kid who works his butt off, but is missing some essential athleticism.  My daughter is quite athletic (basketball and track), but probably lacks the size+skill set to play at the next level.  I pushed them hard because I wanted them to know that regardless of their talent level they had to devote themselves to improving if they wanted to play. This is I think the lesson that sports can teach our kids.  Success is usually the result of hard work and feeling like you accomplished your goals (whatever they are)  through your own effort is valuable.
 
My wife and I feel that winning is important and that feeling like you contributed to a team victory is its own reward.  Hard work and playing hard are essential parts of that.  We are honest with our kids.  When they play well, we praise them, but when they dont we tell them. When they make excuses we call them out.  When they get hurt we make it clear that they are still expected to play if they can (there is a difference between hurt and injured). I do some yelling from the stands -- usually I yell hustle, or go rebound ( yelling at your son during a football game is pretty pointless).
Perfect play and results are nearly impossible, but you can play your hardest every time.

finally every sport will be the same district except football

Chester86 I hear what you are saying the problem is you do not have the right story. People will say he lift for this reason or that one. I am from Deweyville and my kids go there so I will tell you why he left.
It did not have any thing to do with a hard district are him having to paint the field the bottom line is OUR community, NOT every body but as a hole does not support Athletics. He had only a couple of coaches to help him and could not hire any cause there was no openings to put them. In Deweyville when a coach no longer wants to coach he are she does not coach but yet gets to stay and teach when the AD is not happy with A coach for what ever reason they do not coach BUT THEY stay and teach SO YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO HIRE ANY MORE COACHES. That my friends is the biggest reason he lift in my opinion Then there is the money when you do the math and add the hours he putts in to the money he makes he would be lucky to be making minimum Wage Then when the subject was brought up to get him more money, some of the teachers and Principles got pissed off cause in there eyes THE AD should not be making more than them Cause they been there for years THIS HOLE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS PATHETIC.
