Dude, it’s really not that serious. Let’s call this kid M. So, during a practice basketball game (which has no stakes), M scores and yells like he just won a championship. I don’t know if he thought he was in line for a giant gummy bear or something, but whatever. As soon as he misses a shot, though, he starts crying, cursing, and throwing a fit. Like, come on, dude, you’re ahead by ten points! Even the other team was like, “Bro, it’s not that deep.” And how does M respond? With stuff like, “Shut the fk up, you stupid motherf*er.” Yup, even the teacher had to bench him.
He tends to blow up at teammates too, so good luck being on his team unless you want to be attacked for the smallest mistake.
Honestly, people like M make me dread gym class.
It sounds like M really struggles with handling his emotions during games, which is tough for everyone involved. It’s frustrating when someone takes it way too seriously, especially for a practice game where the focus should be on having fun and improving skills. It’s understandable that his reactions would bring down the mood for the whole team. Hopefully, he can find a way to channel that energy more positively, because it definitely makes PE less enjoyable for everyone. You shouldn’t have to deal with that kind of negativity when trying to play and enjoy the sport!
