Best and worst

“They’re the best losing team in the league.”

Sometimes a team has skill, determination, and drive. But the little things fall apart. Or details are missed. Or the timing is wrong. Or a little bad luck comes into play.

Despite a lot of promise, sometimes good teams come up short. In sport, in business, in politics.

But if a team is really a good team, those losses fuel their drive to improve. The voids created by setbacks aren’t filled with despair — they’re filled in with grit, character, and boundless determination.
