7．How to Deal with Losing in Sports？
Winning and losing go hand in hand when it comes to sports.Great athletes never let the highs get too high，or the lows get too low.The result of a match is uncertain.The only thing that is certain is the competition itself.（1）
The result is just the result of all the hard work they put in.
Congratulate your opponents（對(duì)手） after a loss.Respect your opponents because they put in as much work as you，or more than you.This shows the respect for the opponents and the contests.
Accept the fact that the loss is not one's fault.This is harder to do in an individual sport，and is absolutely important in a team sport.（2）
Don't get down on yourself.If competing in an individual sport，accept that losing is a part of competing and move on.
Examine why you lose the competition.Ask yourself if you did everything possible to prepare for the competition.Ask yourself if you gave it all during the competition.（3）
This is crucial （至關(guān)重要的） if competing in an individual sport.If competing in a team sport，recognise that everyone isn't perfect and examine the loss from the team opinion.
（4）
Practise more，and practise better.Correct whatever mistakes made during the match.Get bigger，stronger，faster，smarter and do whatever it takes.
Seek out the support and encouragement of teammates and coaches.Don't allow yourself to think negatively.Avoid negative people.（5）
Never accuse a competitor of cheating，if it is not true.This will make you seem as if you are looking for excuses.
