winning is fun and fun is winning. I know which one I'd try and do first.

I tell my players you have to enjoy the process of getting better. It's tough to practice for hours every day, often doing the small things that just aren't intrinsically fun, to get better. We try to end each session with something fun.

But in the end, I've always seen kids having fun winning and irritable when losing. It's human nature.

I know they used extensive screeners before they bring anybody into the organization. Both them and the Rays use a metric system for personality and character traits. There are some really cool tools that these teams are now using which can essentially construct the perfect clubhouse by predicting player groupings which can predict how players will interact in a clubhouse. It's easy for some of us to roll our eyes but then you look at the Red Sox or even Cubs and it's pretty obvious that there is some unrest in the clubhouse.

So eHarmony might be better than Tinder or Grindr for long term relationships? Hmm
