The attitude that great teams have is that it's all about winning ; otherwise, why even play the game? Kids need to be less carefree, soft, and mamma's boys and more competitive. I think being competitive will help in alot of situations throughout their lives.

Apparently you have misunderstood what I said. I did not say it was good to lose or to not have a winning attitude. All teams lose at one point or at another. The best attitude is to learn from it and move on. Make it a growing experience, not sit and whine about it. "We should have won." instead they should say "I know what I done wrong and I will fix it." Hence the reason to play. I want my kids to play to learn and experience a team game and to grow from their mistakes. If you think you are going to win in everything in life, then you are in for a big let down. Sure, being competitive will help in life, but being arrogant won't, "It's all about winning" because you can't grow from it. JMHO
