Learning from Losing


This weekend, Michigan jumped out to a 17 - 7 lead on #3 Penn State. The game ended with Penn State up 46 - 17. In a game that included lots of bad moments (for the Michigan fans among us) there were still good moments, like John Thompson forcing a fumble on this play. What lessons can be learned from this? I believe that some academic parallels could be drawn. What do you think?

You can learn that you are never supposed to give up on anything.It also shows to always take the good out of things.------Take Michigan losing for intance, even know they lost they still tried and made a several good plays.

The game shows that you should never give up. Also you should not just expect that you are going to do well. You have to prepare for the challenge. Penn St probably thought that they were going to win. hey did, but they were obviously nevous when they were losing to a 2-4 (now 2-5) team. When Michigan lost to Toledo Penn st was sure that they would beat them badly. Anything is possible.

I think that you can try to get as much out of everything that you do as you possibly can, even though it might not work out well. In soccer, a team can dominate possesion and not score. They can then lose the game at the very end because of a silly mistake a silly mistake.

You learn from your mistakes. So if you lose train harder for your next game or whatever you lost at.
