Recess is a time of freedom. You play a game knowing you can win or lose. The most important thing about the game is the joy of being part of it. Complying with the rules, talking a lot with the team, getting into their spirit are conditions to enjoy the sport well.
Whether Gabriel scored three goals in the soccer match or Mariazinha scored eight points in volleyball, giving their teams victory in the school championship, of course they can only be overjoyed. Know how to win without counting advantages. No need, because everyone saw your performance. Faced with a compliment, it's much nicer to say:
– Well…, I helped. I was lucky and the whole team played well.
