That kind of hyper competitiveness isn't healthy for kids or anyone. Dave needs some perspective in life.

Some of the comments after the game from WaPo:

Jarvis’s father echoed that goal of using sports to instill positive qualities that his son and others can take away from the diamond.

“I’m a coach myself,” Austin Jarvis said, “and he hears me tell my players all the time that it’s not just about baseball.”

Being a good person is more important than being a great player,” he added, “and seeing him exemplify that on the field today, and on television — which I didn’t even know it was on TV in that moment — seeing him do that just makes me really proud.”

“What Isaiah did,” Kouplen said, “is what our whole world should be doing right now: loving others, above and beyond our differences. It was truly inspiring.”
