Rugby and Me

I had my first Mini & juniors Committee meeting yesterday, after my decision to coaching the Under 7's at Farnborough Rugby Club. My daughter is currently playing and enjoying. I was advised prior to my coaching course to have a look at
coachingrugby.com where I just read the following:

THE BASIC TENET OF RUGBY UNION IS ENJOYMENT
All players, coaches and officials in their own way should enjoy, and be allowed to enjoy, their participation in the game.
THE SECOND TENET IS EXCITEMENT
All who teach and coach should have a view of the game in its most exciting, dynamic and expansive form. They should strive to improve their ability to instil this view in the players with whom they work, and inspire them to achieve it.
THE THIRD TENET IS ENDEAVOUR
Players must respond to this guidance and aspire to be the best that they can be, always ready to work hard to improve their skills and understanding.
THE FOURTH TENET IS OF EQUITY AND LAW
Referees should positively encourage the skilled dynamic game, assisting endeavour to succeed and punishing illegal disruption. They should apply the Laws of the Game in co-operation with the players' best aspirations

Shouldn't this be anyone's set of tenets in life - enjoment, excitement, endeavour and equity and law (although you may not express them exactly like this)?

I am certainly excited about the prospect of coaching and hopefully I will enjoy it, after all I have just spent one season watching my daughter in rain, wind, sleet and occasional sun. Taking part with seem far more equitable :)
