No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts.
I learned this 41 from an experience many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.
It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the new team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even 42 for the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was 43 because I knew we were sure to win. But unluckily, we were defeated (打败). I couldn’t believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to 44 that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were depending on me. I had to change my attitude (态度) about their 45 .
I started doing anything I could to help them build confidence. The most 46 thing is that I began to treat them like winners. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and 47 passing and kicking the football.
Six months after suffering (遭受) our defeat, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. 48 , we faced the number one team. I felt that we would be winners even if we lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me the most exciting moment of my life!
From the experience, I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can make a 49 to a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I 50 and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves differently and they built themselves into winners.
