You must never be satisfied with losing. You must get angry, terribly angry, about losing. But the mark of the good loser is that he takes his anger out on himself and not his victorious opponents or on his teammates.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to play basketball and I was pretty competitive, but I was never a bad loser. I never got angry. For me it was always about doing my best and devoting myself to a challenge.
There's a difference between hurting when you lose and being a bad loser. You don't compete at the highest level of sport to feel comfortable about losing, but you behave in a civil way when it goes wrong because that is the flip side.
When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell you anything.
Losers are people who are afraid of losing.
I love competition and really going for it and doing my best, but losing isn't really upsetting to me. I feel like if I do lose, the other person really deserved it.
I never think about losing. That's why it's so hard to accept a loss.
I just hate losing and that gives you an extra determination to work harder.
One of the most basic factors in sports is that winning becomes a habit, and losing is the same way. When failure starts to feel normal in your life or your work or even your darkest vices, you won't have to go looking for trouble, because trouble will find you. Count on it.
I think it's a loser's mentality to get happy with somebody losing.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
