Dealing with Defeat

Listen Later

Today's Friday Fire I talk about dealing with defeat. I am at the 2022 World Championships in Nottingham England, and didn't make it past the quarter finals. So I thought this would be an ideal time to talk about dealing with defeat. Here are some of my best tips:

  • I think remembering that it is all just a game, and we are playing because we like the game.
  • Don't let a judge determine your self worth or skill in any area of life.
  • Be a good winner when you win, and a great loser when you lose.
  • Five years from now people wont remember your placing, though they will always remember how you made them feel.
  • Keep trying, never give up just because you lost this time.
