My team tends to NOT win. :( We do well, but usually end up 2nd-3rd. Last year, we won a couple of competitions, and I think the surprise at the announcement of 2nd place NOT being them...well, they couldn't always control their excitement.
I completely understand and agree with what you're saying and as a coach I try hard to teach and remind my girls in the event this happens, to be applaud and congratulate the other team and wait for their name to be called before shrieking! However, I think they get caught up and tend to forget...but please don't assume that as a coach I have not discussed this with my team multiple times.
This is my point the teams that places second deserves the time to celebrate I just think it takes away from them if the first place teams celebrates before they are called as first place.Second place is a great accomplishment and it deserves celebrating too, that's all.
