Develop The Art Of Losing Like A Champion

Learn how to turn losses into teachable moments that you can use in everyday life.

All humans need to be capable of losing and winning with dignity. Why? Because this is when someone's depth of character is revealed. No loss is simple. But failure exposes our character. It reveals our moral fortitude and establishes our reputation in society. How would you like to be recalled? Definitely not as a sore loser.

"Competition doesn't create character, it exposes it," is a common saying. A person's gameplay reveals something about their character. It all comes out in how one loses. We appreciate those who accept failure with grace. We sneer at losers who refuse to act graciously. Making excuses, whining, being silent, withdrawing, or becoming aggressive in response to a setback does nothing to improve one's character. Learning to shake hands, honestly congratulate victors, and offer praise demonstrates character, which is always more significant than success.
