"Its okay to feel it or think it, but don't show it or say it."

reader comment by James Trott about what we learn by losing in sports:

I have been fortunate enough to  help coach some fantastic young female athletes, and the motto has always been "its okay to feel it or think it, but don't show it or say it." Thought this article hits home as we all lose more than we win in everyday life.
