Florida District 9 Little League: Welcome
-
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
-
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
-
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
-
If children live with praise, they learn to like themselves.
-
If children live with recognition, they learn to have a goal.
-
If children live with honesty, they learn what trust is.
It's not always the Manager who wins the most that is the one who does the best job. The Manager who works to develop youngsters with little talent, who brings out consistency in more skilled players, and who teaches the lessons of life which carry into adulthood . . .although they have few awards to show for it, they ultimately are the most successful. Awards are soon forgotten, but the character instilled in children will last a lifetime.
