About the book

The moments are remembered. The score is not.

Being part of a team and being involved are character building. Having fun and enjoying the activity is what matters most to the children. Moments within the game will be remembered forever. The final outcome of the game will not. That is Winning without Winning.

  • Character through taking part

    Being on a team and being involved build character in young athletes, whether the game is won or lost.

  • Positive coaching

    Practical ways to keep practices and games encouraging, so every child wants to come back.

  • Every player valued

    Build a team where each child feels they belong and has something to contribute.

  • Success, redefined

    Effort, fun and the moments children remember matter more than the final score.

  • Lessons for life

    Connect what kids learn on the field to the confidence and attitude they carry everywhere else.

  • Written for coaches and parents

    Down-to-earth guidance you can use with your own team or your own kids right away.

From the book

Drawing of a smiling girl playing ice hockey.
Having fun nurtures inner strength. A child cannot help but smile.
Drawing of an older man reading, remembering a diving catch he made as a boy.
Yup! My best catch ever! Hmm… I wonder if we won that game?
