The coach angrily paces outside the locker room after losing an early season game. He steps on to the bus and says, âIf I hear one word or see even a crack of a smile, you will pay for it in the morning: practice at 7:00 am. Yes, you heard me, 7:00 am!â
When we lose, our cultural training dictates that we storm around and be irritated, enraged, and left alone to sulk. Kicking and throwing things are good ways to convey to others that we despise losing.
This hatred of losing is overtly taught. You are expected to possess a total disgust for losing.
