Our Team Lost the Game
My whole team lost, and we all feel it.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Sometimes my team loses. Not just me. All of us together.
2. Losing as a team feels heavy in a group way. Some teammates go quiet. Some get grumpy. Some shrug it off. All of those are okay.
3. I might wonder why we lost.
Why did our team lose? The other team practiced a lot and played well. A few unlucky bounces went their way. Our team had a tired or off day. There is no single reason we can know for sure. 💡 A loss almost never has one cause, and it is never all one player’s fault. Not mine, not anyone’s.
4. Teammates can be kind to each other after a loss. "Good try." "Nice pass in the second half." Kind words shrink heavy feelings.
5. When I am ready, I can tell the other team "good game." Ready might take a few minutes. That is allowed.
6. The loss ends when the game ends. Our team gets to practice, laugh on the bus, and start fresh. The next game begins at zero to zero.
