I have so much to say on this topic and it is sitting as one of my drafts! Great discussion, and I hope to have the time to write about it. It all needs to be situated in a context with a bigger perspective. Btw, I started playing pickleball with my strawberry and that's what prompted my draft as well. Being able to win and lose graciously is a social skill that should have been developed earlier in childhood. If it goes untaught, then we see adults acting like children when they lose! Enuff said about that for now.
