1. POSITIVE COACHING SCOTLAND MORAL COURAGE
Positive parents believe in the concept of moral courage, standing up for what is right even when others disagree. Moral courage is doing the right thing because it’s right, not because it might mean winning a match/game. Positive parents would do what’s right even if it meant losing the match/game.
Every team loves to win, but there is a right way and a wrong way to win. Winning when an athlete has cheated takes all the honour out of victory. Positive parents would rather lose the game with dignity as opposed to winning the game dishonestly.
