Now, Bill Walsh, that's the coach of coaches.
He wrote some very positive advice for teachers and everyone who works with kids.
"Kids who take part in any sport get to feel the euphoria of victory,
but they also learn how to deal with loss."
"Having to play a role determined by coaches, whether it is exactly what a player hopes for or not, teaches the acceptance of authority -- but not an automatic, robotic acceptance."
"Athletes have to also understand that anxiety is not a flaw, and that overcoming it is possible -- and sometimes a lot easier than they thought."
"The social elements of team sports have far-reaching effects. Team members develop the ability to communicate under stress. They learn to respect others whether they like them or not, and if a team is ethically coached, its members also are taught to respect their opponents no matter how fierce the rivalry."
