I am a good loser, I know how to lose now!

I came across a very interesting quote recently by Stephanie Gilmore. Just a bit of background on her. She is a professional surfer from Australia and four time world champion on the women's Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour. You can read more about her blog . The quote goes something like this; "I am a good loser, I know how to lose now!" Unfortunately I don't remember the rest of the quote from the magazine. But the jest of it was learning from the losses, not get bogged down by the losses and most importantly moving on to try for the next win! It was a very interesting insight from somebody so young (she is 22). So it is important to enjoy the loss and use it for your preparation. Sulking or hypothesizing the win isn't gonna help in any way. So happy losses! Cheers!
