A coach’s real record isn’t wins and losses. It’s how many of their players turned out to be good adults.

Any job involving young people has two scoreboards and only one of them gets printed. Seasons end and records get forgotten, while the way somebody was taught to handle losing, effort and other people keeps running for fifty years. The second effect is harder to measure and much larger.

If you ever end up leading anybody, judge yourself on how they treat each other rather than on results. Start by noticing which adults in your life pass that test.
