I’m a big basketball fan so the past few weeks have been great with the NBA Playoffs in full swing 🏀
Last week the Miami Heat achieved a big upset when they eliminated the team with the most wins this season, the Milwaukee Bucks.
Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked afterwards if he viewed the season as a failure given how it ended 🤔
You can watch his 2-minute response here…
It’s amazingly eloquent and respectful, especially given how frustrated Giannis must have been feeling at the time. (Plus, English isn’t his first language.)
His words might be worth revisiting whenever you have a setback yourself…
It’s not a failure, it’s steps to success… There are always steps to it… Michael Jordan played 15 years and won 6 championships. The other 9 years were a failure?
There is no failure in sports. There are good days, bad days, some days you are able to be successful, some days you’re not. Some days it’s your turn, some days it’s not your turn and that’s what sports is about. You don’t always win.
We are going to come back next year, try to be better, try to build good habits, try to play better… hopefully we can win a championship.
