Losing is part of it

I hate losing!! I hate losing at anything, tennis, checkers, anything. I hate when my students lose, I hate when my favorite sports teams lose, I even hate when I don’t win the lottery. Unfortunately, losing is a part of sports and we can let it help us or let it cripple us. 

We are constantly stuck between wanting to win and wanting to play against strong competition, something has to give.  Next time you play, concentrate on playing your best tennis rather than winning or losing.     

The truth is that we have to lose and then learn from those losses, we also have to learn how to win, so we can do that more often.  Whatever you do, when you play, learn, this makes every time you step out on the court a positive experience… a winning experience.
