Excerpts from the book Playing to Win: Becoming the Championby David Sirlin

On losing:

Losing is part of the game, if you never lose you are never truly tested and never forced to grow.

The old cliche states: Losing is an opportunity to learn.

Common Losing attitudes

• The “Code of Honor” aka - abiding by made up personal rules
• “You got lucky” - Blaming external factors and not learning from our mistakes
• “I suck” - taking a losing attitude into games (instead focus on your advantage - self doubt never wins games, positivity does)
• Game is too dumb, radom, boring
• • Boring - definetly play another game
  • Dumb - maybe there is another level of understanding it
  • Random - tricky because the more random the worse it is for competitive play - the best way to answer that is “Can the same players conistantly win at it?”  think of Poker as an example of a random game
• Most complaints are to help shrug off a loss instead of learning from it.
