🎯 “Winning = Fun”? Not So Fast.

I walked into a locker room and saw this poster:
➡️ “Why do we play? To have fun. What makes it fun? Winning. So let’s win, win, win, and win some more.”

But here’s the problem: Fun doesn’t mean the same thing to every athlete.

Research shows that while fun is the #1 reason athletes play, winning is just one of many ingredients. Things like trying hard, improving, team connection, and game excitement matter just as much—often more.

💡 Great coaches don’t impose their own definition of fun—they get to know each player’s why and create an environment that nurtures it.
