A winning approach
RE “WHERE ‘try again’ finds victory’’ (Page A1, Sept. 14): I was part of an unusually small high school class where the motto of our girls’ athletic coach was: It’s not in winning, but in playing well. Sometimes we won, sometimes we lost, but we always tried to do our best because we didn’t want to embarrass our classmates, our coach, and ourselves.
Kudos to Wheelock College’s athletic director Diana Cutaia for reviving the spirit of striving to bring out the best in yourself and feel good about it.
