“As a society, we worship success, and yet it may take more bravery and therefore be more worthy of respect to commit and challenge yourself when you are not, and may never be, the best.” – Duff Gibson
There’s more than wins and losses
You hear the saying, “it’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.”
There’s a lot to be said to that.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m definitely not one that says winning isn’t important. Winning is important. But that doesn’t mean that only the winners are successful
How often is an outstanding performance overlooked because it wasn’t a winning performance?
The whole purpose of competition is to determine a winner.
As Vince Lombardi’s quote says, “Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is.” Aside from winning or losing, what did it take to get there and what did it take to perform?
How do you react to winning and losing?
Do you learn from your losses to best prepare for the next time?
Great athletes are motivated by the challenge and progression – not winning so much as trying to win
Bonnie Cruikshank, “You’ve got to look at it relative to you, and the better you can be relative to you, the better you can be relative to the rest of the world. But you can’t be better than the rest of the world if you can’t better yourself.”
- Lillehammer Olympics 1500 4th place finish – best race – personal best over 1 second, American record
Success and personal satisfaction are always relative to expectation, which is based on ability
