A good balance of winning and losing is important. If you just win all the time, you won't get anything out of it; having some tough losses can be really important.

When you have a tough loss, go through it and agonize. I had one loss that I still want to change, but at the same time I realize it is an important part of who I am.

Winning isn't everything, but playing and competing and striving and going through things can be a lot of fun and really important. As long as you're doing it in a way that's healthy, sports can be an incredible opportunity.

The most important role models should and could be parents and teachers. But that said, once you're a teenager you've probably gotten as much of an example from your parents as you're going to.

They should feel bad. That's what winning and losing is all about. You put in so much time and when you do lose a game, it hurts.

Winning and losing isn't everything; sometimes, the journey is just as important as the outcome.
