Loser

In every sport there is a winner and a loser. Well in our house lets just say my youngest is a very poor loser... He gets all upset and dos'nt know how to handle losing... We had to have a lesson after he lost his Jr Jazz game by one basket. He has lost before this season but this was tournament and he just did not know what to do with that. 

This year his football team he liked went to the Super Bowl and thing did not turn out how he wanted it to he was upset and dissapointed he took off his Bronco shirt put his orange chair he was watching the game in away and he took his flag and mini helmet and put them away... But it's a good thing there are examples in the sport world to show class when losing. Peyton Manning did an excellent job to show That you can lose with class... So after Jr Jazz game we came home and had recorded the Olympics and he was super excited to watch his snowboarding idel compete for Gold!! 

Well guess what happened? Yep that's right he did not get a single medal, yes he could have wined and blamed it on the poor conditions of the half pipe, but after his run he hugged the winner and congratulated him on taking gold, you could see he was disappointed, he could have thrown a temper tantrum thrown his snowboard to the ground but no with class he did an interview shortly after and said. You can't blame the poor conditions of the half pipe we all had to compete on it and for those that were able to pull of a clean run congratulations. He said I just had two very poor runs and it is what it is.

My child was totally sad almost in tears and here was the learning lesson again we said see Shawn White was expected to win gold almost guaranteed it, he knew it along with everyone else there but he didn't even get a medal and look how he was able to be happy about those that did receive the medals. Sure I am sure he felt horrible!  when the games ends and the competition ends and it's all over you can be sad for yourself but also happy for those that competed against you.
