A real class act. Nothing but respect and admiration for the coaches and players. You may have come up short on the scoreboard, but you are winners in life.
GREAT SPEECH and GREAT kids!!! I'm originally from CT, so I am so proud!!! My son is in his 4th year of Little League in Goodyear, AZ and I will be playing this for him to hear!!! Love, love, love this speech!!!!
If you watch this and don't get a bit choked up , you are not human ! To be honest, perhaps the best speech I've ever heard given to kids about what it really means to participate and give you are all in sports ! HUGE OVATION for Coach Dave Belisle and his kids the Cumberland Americans ! This is the team that Obama should have had at the White House and not the Jackie Robinson team that shamed the entire LLWS last year with their scandal ! These kids took that team to the wire and lost by one run, to a group that cheated (stacked with players not from their district). We all can learn from Coach Dave's words ! Thanks to the person who posted this and Thanks again to Coach Dave Belisle and the Cumberland Americans ! They were the US CHAMPS , because of how they played the game !
Why are you bringing the kids down it was the coaches (adults) fault I'm not saying this team didn't deserve it, by all means they did but don't say a bunch of kids ruined the LLWS that's just mean
I have watched this many times. I have a girl on softball but yet I think this coach should receive some sort of an award ....................... So emotional and inspirational.
It's a shame the Jackie Robinson team's coach didn't have the same class and sportmanship. espn.go.com/chicago/story/_/id/12308988/little-league-strips-chicago-team-us-championship-suspends-coach
I watch this every year. What an inspirational coach and terrific man. Sports need more people like Dave Belisle! Great leader.
Wow

Wow, it's great seeing this again and in its entirety. Thanks so much for posting this.
And this is why we should always listen to the many inspirational messages coaches give to these players, even whether they win or not.
I still get choked up every time I watch this!!!!

as Keith Jackson used to day on ABC's College Football Today, 'and that folks is what this sport is all about'
" You're my boys, The Boys of Summer"
What a great guy and a great speech exactly the type of person you want to coach your kids.
A great understanding than losing is just as important winning.
