What Moonliner is saying is that he does not believe in puffing kids up. If they play well then they get lots of positive feedback. If they screw up they get told, hey! you screwed up.

Please note that "play well" is not synonymous with "win" in this context. They can get crushed on the field and still have played their best, alternatively in some cases they can slack off, play poorly and still win. I praise or criticize performance and attitude not the score.
