Vince Lombardi once said “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing”. It may be true in the professional leagues; it is not the right statement for youth sports. Kids are supposed to begin to learn about the sport they are playing and have fun with it, especially for kids on an under eight year old soccer team. Michael Kinahan of the U8 girls team in Scituate took things too far. "Chase every ball and dig in corners like a Michael Vick pit bull", he wrote in an email.  "I believe winning is fun and losing is for losers" and “Second place trophies are nothing to be proud of as they serve only as a reminder that you missed your goal."
