We, of course, always have that one moment in our lives that we play out in our heads over and over again—or that one moment we wish would happen in our lives we daydream about regularly.
For the Dallas’ Wings Skylar Diggins, she did an interview with Health Magazine, where she talked about this and a host of other different issues. She said her proudest moment would be obtaining her degree from Notre Dame.
Diggins also talked a bit about something regarding her health that she wishes she had learned earlier:
“The importance of warming up and rest and recovery.”
In addition, she was asked about how she deals with a loss. Needless to say, for any competitive person, it comes with obvious drawbacks:
“Easier said than done! But when that moment happens, you really kind of find out who you are. It was something that I had to learn at a young age. I hated losing—maybe even more than I loved winning. I still have to have moments where I have to think, ‘OK, it’s a game’.”
The interview also included Diggins on where she finds her winning and positive attitude from:
“Anytime I’ve come up short was just a hurdle I had to get over to be where I am today.”
That’s what we call a winning attitude for sports and for life as on all occasions, winning and losing can be determined by one’s response to an initial loss. That response can be an important step in getting out of the loss column and into the win column.
