I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
I have not lost an awful lot in my life, but the defeats have taught me more than the victories. Whenever I lose, I focus on the ability of my opponent and on the mistakes I made.
People talk about the pain of defeat, but I think defeat has a lot of value. I think the wound of victory can be even more damaging than defeat. Very few people really know how to win.
You've got to learn to survive a defeat. That's when you develop character.
I think any time you have too much education in one certain field, that can sometimes play against you.
If you value your wins and you value what you've done over the course of your career, then you wouldn't want people harboring over a loss, even though you fought extremely well.
We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
I don't think any professional accepts defeat.
I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.
I think that it's perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don't want defeat. We don't want defeat in sport. We don't want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What's going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?
