we all know the things people whisper in the corners about the boys when they think no-one else is around to hear them. I'd rather my kid not be subjected to that kind of meanspirited innuendo.

I've always felt that the true spirit of a competitor is shown not only by how they react in defeat, but in how they behave when they win. I've always endeavoured to teach my kids to accept disappointment with grace; but if I ever caught them gloating over their successes, I'd be sorely disappointed.
