Dealing with Defeat

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.
