In games, we know who has won... You get the reinforcement for having played well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm sure a lot of players say it, but winning is almost so you don't lose. The thrill of winning is not as great as the pain of losing.
I know what it's like to win things. You need a certain type of player with a determination to win. You see it in the eyes.
I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win.
I think that at the start of a game, you're always playing to win, and then maybe if you're ahead late in the game, you start playing not to lose. The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.
We get so caught up in winning all the time, but it's also even more important to be a good person, so that's what I learned.
No matter what the situation, winning takes care of a lot of stuff. Things are never perfect, even when you win. But it does make for a lot better environment, for sure.
There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.
You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.
As a sportsman, you always play to win. Having said that, it's not possible to win every day. There will be days when you will do well and there will be days you won't.
When you want to win a game, you have to teach. When you lose a game, you have to learn.
