Winning

Winning is another word for accomplishing a goal. Though that goal may not be as challenging as some goals in the future, accomplishing it is still a great feat. For example, you may be playing in a game against an opponent that you know is not as good as you but if you won it would still be a big deal. But losing to that same team would be an even bigger deal just because you are expected to win. Winning can be a kind of funny thing sometimes. To me, winning isn’t that big of a deal. But the big deal to me is, winning on a consistent basis. If you only win every once in a while, no one will recognize you or the team that you played on. People remember the teams that are successful. You never hear people talking about a team ten or fifteen years ago that lost every game or barely won at all. I want to be remembered as someone who was competitive and at the same time won a good majority of the games I played in. Sometimes winning doesn’t always take place on a basketball court, football field or baseball diamond, but in schools, hospitals and even your homes. But overall, my fondest memories of winning all take place during sports. Lastly, to be a winner is very important to me, because not only do people respect you for your accomplishments, but people look at you in a “different light.” When you’re a winner, people recognize you and you tend to have more of a chip on your shoulder. You’re almost expected to be successful whenever you have an opponent. Between all of the sports that I have taken part in I must say that winning is very important to me and there is nothing worse that defeat.
