Sport and life is about losing. It's about understanding how to lose.
It's not just about a coach telling you what to do and just following it unthinkingly.
It's perseverance that's the key. It's persevering for long enough to achieve your potential.
It's about lessons for life. It's not just about winning either.
If you have a coach helping you, developing your skills alongside you, that's when you're on your way to becoming not just a participant but achieving.
As a youngster, I enjoyed sport and my ambition was to be a great sportsman.
