Everyone's A Winner?

[GreyingJay]

Good: "everybody's a winner - even if you didn't rank #1 and take home a trophy, the successes you saw and the experiences you had will mould and shape you for years to come"

Bad: "everybody's a winner, so we won't be ranking teams or giving out any trophies"

I hope your coach said this light-heartedly, and that students on the team knew "what he really meant" because taken at its word, this is not an attitude I would agree with at all. Second place is an incredible achievement for any team (well, except 2056 )

We'll got for a team dinner after our competitions regardless of whether we won or not. When we win a regional, it'll be my treat.
