Pushing For Success

In the aftermath of any competition, be it sports or otherwise...
We will see a gamut of emotions in the mass of humanity in sight..

There will be riotous screams of joy and jubilation, laughter and smiles galore..
Fist pumps and high fives, happy faces all around at the victorious camp.....

We readily quip, to the victor the spoils of a victory most deserving...
To the losers we empathise and wish them better luck next time...

To be fair, all players deserve recognition for there was none who participated just to lose...
So if we downplay any successes, it is not doing justice by the best efforts of our children...

Every junior player, we can safely assume, he/she has done the  best possible...
Look at the blood, sweat and tears each time they train and play their hearts out...

Those who achieve personal bests and better their rankings,  congratulations!
Those who falter, train and work harder, gear up and go for the next competition...
