The Agony of Deparent
- John Kessel, USA Volleyball Director of Education, Grassroots, Disabled & Beach Volleyball
As I watch parents and coaches agonizing over defeat, and in the rapture of victory, I think two key things are missing:
1. The parents need help in enjoying all matches, losses as well as victories.
2. We are good at the lessons of winning, but we simply do not teach enough how to gain/learn from losing.
