Some losses are tougher to digest than others, and in this episode, Brian and Josh discuss how tennis players can handle tough losses in the best possible way. They start by defining different types of tough losses such as losses in big events, losses in close matches, losses when it feels personal, losses against weaker players, and losses when a player feels like they let their team down. Next, the co-hosts discuss how players generally don’t handle tough losses in the best way through making excuses, not wanting to address the loss or talk about it, and avoiding future competition. Lastly, they offer suggestions for what players can do to move on from tough losses including learning and making adjustments after the loss, viewing the loss as a “necessary experience,” and adopting the perspective of everything being practice for the future.
