When you want to win a game, you have to teach. When you lose a game, you have to learn.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.
Every game has to teach you how to walk, run, talk, use.
You can teach all the other stuff, you know. You can teach shooting the ball, you can teach having a good touch... passing and whatnot, but when you get out there on the field, it's just a mindset you need to go into the game with.
Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it.
It's often been said that you learn more from losing than you do from winning. I think, if you're wise, you learn from both. You learn a lot from a loss. You learn what is it that we're not doing to get to where we want to go. It really gets your attention and it really motivates the work ethic of your team when you're not doing well.
You can't win unless you learn how to lose.
What is crucial in dealing with loss is not to lose the lesson. That makes you a winner in the most profound sense.
I learned this about coaching: You don't have to explain victory and you can't explain defeat.
I've said many times, 'You learn to win through not liking to lose.' And that's what I mean by learning how to win.
Play the game for more than you can afford to lose... only then will you learn the game.
