Everybody's a winner!

While observing I noticed many kids kept asking the score or when the game was finished asking who won. The teacher never told them he would always say there is no winner, everyone is a winner, the score doesn't count, etc. I think this is a good thing because it keeps kids from getting discouraged. It keeps kids from fighting or saying I'm better than you, or I'm the winner, you're a loser, negative things like that. As a kid you want them to be positive, you want to get them interested in the sport and focus on participation, not on just winning! I mean as they get older that becomes more accepted because they better understand competition.
