Losing on the scoreboard
But winning in the grind
Losing in dealing with soreness
But winning strengthening the mind
Losing in a simple game
But winning a life lesson
Losing in sometimes difficult adversity
Winning with physical blessings
Losing in hatred from fans
But winning in changing a life
Losing in not being wanted by girls
But winning in god providing a wife
Losing in not getting that award
But simply winning in getting to play
Losing in not getting what you want
But winning getting to wake up today.
Sometimes losing isnt really intended to lose but rather to win in yet a different light. We as athletes sometimes get so caught up in winning and losing that we lose sight of the bigger lesson in the situation. Playing the game is simply a win in its own because basketball is a game that won’t last forever.
Think of a time where you may have felt like you really lost but really learned a lesson, what was it? How’d you turn that negative into a positive??
