Take for instance the behaviour of one of my swimmers a few days ago. Now, this swimmer knows she's screwed up. But instead of saying sorry or offering an explanation, she simply bit her lip and pretended that she did nothing wrong.
I know that saying "sorry" can sometimes be a hard thing to do. As a grown-up (or at least that's what I like to think of myself), I don't have any problems saying sorry when I screw up (and yeah, I screw up a lot). To me, saying sorry is a way of acknowledging fault and accepting responsibility.
So why aren't kids nowadays being taught this?
