Common misconception
Some pupils might think that teams are only successful if they score the most points or beat their opposition when they compete.
Competing successfully can be measured in different ways. Scoring the most points or goals is one measure. Including all team members, playing fairly or bringing positivity are all equally important ways of being successful when competing.
