Losers Are Smart

When I played baseball as a kid, the coaches were full of platitudes about winning. Now that I'm grown, well into adulthood actually, I watch the players on my channel put in 162 games a year. In order to keep it together for such a long time, to play effectively, you have to be a good loser.

You’re going to lose. You can givem’ backward Ks and the hits aren’t there or the hits are there and the pitching isn’t. It can all be there and, guess what, they have a good day too. Luck, weather, injuries, any combination is possible. Losing is inevitable.

Using losing to better yourself is a must or you’re going back down. You have to be able to redirect defeat. If you don't lose, you won't learn how. Losers are smart…..if they learn.
