The swimmer Adrian Moorhouse, winner of Olympic Gold in 1988 in Seoul, had the same coach from the day of articulating his dream to becoming the best in the world. Terry Denison, his coach, said“You have to be able to accept the ups and downs of life. It teaches people to deal with the disappointments in a way that’s not a major thing, because losing a swimming race is not like losing your arm or seeing a loved one die. I think young people learn that there’s going to be some knocks and some good times. You've got to live with both of them and at the end of the day they’ll both even themselves out. I think it teaches people to be disciplined and that’s most important in this life. I do think it makes people organised as well. They learn to apportion time to certain things in their life and they know that, whatever they are going to do, they've got to give a whole lot of time to do it.”
We all want our children to become self-engaged learners.We want them to
feel motivated about their learning. We want them to value effort
more then results. We want them to pick themselves up and try
again when they fail, because determination and resilience are skills they will need
throughout their lives beyond school and college.
