 Today was the final game of the hockey season. They were perfect…perfectly imperfect. They didn’t win a single game. It was a rough season. Some kids gave up and quit the team before the season was over. It is now time for me to take a step back and consider what happened this season. There were ups and there were downs, but there were no wins. There was alot of learning. There were times where the confusion reigned supreme. At the same time, there were alot of lessons Matty learned throughout the season. He progressed as a hockey player and a human being. He is now more of an athlete than when the season started. For that I am eternally thankful. Matty will take the lessons he has learned and absorb them in the off season. He will work hard to get into the best shape of his life. He has committed to a goal of getting in the best shape of his life by the time tryouts come (early June 2009). He has a trainer (me) who is going to see to it that he makes that goal as long as he wants it. I will not (and I’ve told him this) push him to go to the gym if he is not going. However, when in the gym, I will push him to achieve his absolute best. I will push him to give his best effort always. There are lessons here for all of us. I honestly think I have a topic for a third book that will be about lessons learned from losing. Winning is incredible. We’ve done it on every hockey team he’s ever been on. However, losing is also incredible. There were bonds made with other people that are extremely strong. There are parents that we will stay in touch with and kids we hope to see again next season. Losing has brought us closer together than winning ever could have. We have learned to celebrate the small victories. This is something everyone should learn. There is a great discussion starting up on Facebook about the topic of seeing progress. If you are on Facebook, join the discussion here.

 There is more to be learned from losing than from winning. |
