Today was a good game. We did not win the game, but that is okay. As a team we achieved a very important goal.
After the game came to an end. The coaches from the other team came over and complimented our team for having great sportsmanship and skills. The coaches expressed how they had not played against such a good group of girls in a very long time.
After hearing that it did not phase me that we did not win. I was so proud of our team. It was such a liberating experience.
It is wonderful that you received such encouragement that reinforced the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship. It is a win!
