The title of this article is, “Thank
you, Shaun White, for not medaling in the Olympics” written by Shannan Younger.
The article is about the lessons you can learn from Shaun White, who came in
fourth place in the half pipe competition at the Sochi Olympics. The author first begins by saying you can’t always win, and you have to be a good sport when you don’t. Shannan says after Shaun White competed he went up to another competitor and hugged him. He then went on to an interview and said he was happy for the guys who did well, which was showing good sportsmanship. She also mentions that from Shaun you can learn not to give up. In the interview Shaun says it was a bad day and he will continue to keep practicing and come out here next time and get a medal then.
I agree with all the information Shannan mentioned that you could have
learned from Shaun that day. I agree that it is super important to be a good sport. I play volleyball, and after each game we shake hands under the net saying good game. I think that’s really important because all though no one wants to lose, we still show good sportsmanship and congratulate the other team. Sometimes it is hard to suck it up and tell them “Good job” after a tough loss, but in the end they deserve it. Just like Shaun said, we could always come back next time and get them. When we do win, we would love for them to congratulate us as well.
This information will help me in the future to remember you
can’t always win or get what you want, and when you don’t you must keep a positive attitude about it. In the future, after a tough loss I will keep my head up and just keep thinking that I will come back and get them next time. This can help me in the workplace to be proud of my employees if they get a better opportunity then I might. I will remember to keep working hard and eventually it will pay off. In that moment though, I must be proud and happy for them.
