In this episode of Kupshup, the guests share a powerful story about their sons, who were just 10 or 11 years old and playing in a tournament. After a tough loss, one boy blamed the other — the goalkeeper — for the defeat. It was a difficult moment, but also a valuable teaching opportunity.
They used it to explain that football is a team sport. If the ball made it to the goalkeeper, it had already passed through the striker, midfield, and defense — each line had a role in the outcome. The message was clear: you win as a team, and you lose as a team.
This moment became a defining one for them, both as parents and as owners of a youth football club. It wasn’t about blame — it was about building a mindset of unity, accountability, and growth.
