A golden generation
On Belgium's "golden generation" of footballers: "In 2009, three years after the plan was formed, the results of the country's youth teams began to improve, just at the time the players had learnt not to focus on winning or losing, but simply improving...'The objective was not to move up the rankings but the result of having a better system meant that we did anyway.'"
In educational terms, like many of us have been saying all along: No Child Left Behind is humbug, the REF is bunk, teaching to the test is counterproductive, grades are handy but ultimately mean little, and "playing to win" is for suckers. Play to improve, everybody.
