Football is back! That means tailgates, autumn weather, and donning the gear of your favorite team! It also means...potential disappointment.

The last week hasn't been great for either of Amanda's teams (the Michigan State Spartans and the Detroit Lions...ouch), but even in the worst defeats there are lessons to be learned. On this week's episode of The Survivor's Guide to Thriving podcast, Amanda is sharing the biggest lessons she takes away from her sports fandom – and how we can all apply these teachings in our own lives. This includes:

• The importance of good coaching
• What it means to "stay focused on the next play"
• Surrounding yourself with a supportive team

And more!

In sports – as in life – we can't all be winners. But there is value in defeat...and we're going to uncover what that is!
