Losing isn’t end of world says sports columnist
Stephen Chapman argues that losing is a universal yet teachable moment in sports. He cites Bonds Brown Kwan and Auerbach to show victory and defeat shape character, then uses Augie Garrido’s Texas College World Series lapse to urge embracing earned pride over second place. He notes podiums honor effort, not doom, and recalls Wimbledon and Olympic rituals as reminders that winning isn’t everything.
