I guess they are saying possibly losing as a team is better than winning because one player could easily beat the other team by himself? Or hide your true self because people can't deal with the fact that you are better at something than they are??

The moral of the story is to stay away from werewolves
sharedon't be afraid of being a wolf
shareThe moral of the story is that being yourself is okay. your real friends like you for who you actually are. This is important for any kid to hear and understand.

Yes! This!
And also - that it's ok to explore and capitalize on the thing that makes you stand out, for a short period, just to gain new experiences, which might help you make a better choice for your long term future.
I interpreted that it was more about being careful what you wish for.
Scott never felt he fit in, played in an extremely mediocre basketball team, lusted after the popular girl at school. When he became the wolf, suddenly he was successful at basketball, the popular girl was throwing herself at him, he had a lot of fans. But look at the cost.
It gave him a certain arrogance, and hurt the people who had actually cared about him before he was the wolf. He forgot about his actual friends and family, to embrace people who were suddenly interested because he was seen as 'cool'. Pamela was draping herself over him, and running back to Mick the next minute. When he won the basketball game as himself, suddenly she was interested again. But he wisely chose Boof, who had been there for him for years, not just when he was considered the cool guy.
Really, I saw it as a lesson about appreciating what was important.
