Why Girls Are Better Teammates

Our team made the other team's goalie cry. Two goals in fairly quick succession. The goalie went down to stop the ball the second time and missed it. Rather than get up off the ground, she crumpled in a heap under the goal. Her teammates piled on top of her and hugged her and patted her. She got up and swiped the tears away. Her teammates ran off to their positions and the game resumed.

It was a beautiful moment to witness. I could not help but think how it would have played out differently with 11 year old boys.
