The competitive season is just getting started and already I’ve seen a number of sore losers. It’ll be a long year for those who can’t cope with defeat. No one is perfect and we all (at least we should) strive to be our best. Your best may or may not be enough to win on any given day. No matter what the final placings are at the end of the night, it’s important to still show class. How you define class is up to you but don’t throw it out the window over a placing. It’s easy to be the happy, cheery person when you’re winning and everyone is telling you how great you are but the true test of character comes in how you handle defeat.
When you don’t place as well as you had hoped will you carry yourself with the same manner as when you won? It’s understandable to be disappointed and upset but it’s not a free pass to act unprofessional.
Win or Lose… Stay Classy.
