Could YOU stay cool if you or a team mate just blew the big shot that made your team lose the game? Think about what could happen if you go off. What will happen next if I yell, push, shove, take out a weapon? Do something to help you cool down. Take some time alone or with trusted friends or adults. Talk with a friend or trusted adult who will listen. Tell yourself: I don’t want to fight. I can’t afford to get in any more trouble. I’m out of here.
