Character doesn’t show up on the scoreboard, but it shows up in the locker room, the classroom, and life. That’s the real win. pic.twitter.com/C4GSaoRKYb

Most people want to be liked, respected, maybe even admired. You could be the best in your sport and he a "problem person," mean-spirited and abusive toward others.
Players get 'ostracized' from team sports because they are toxic, verbally and sometimes physically abusive.
Empathy, understanding how others feel, is a skill worth developing. Someone makes an error that contributes to losing. They feel badly without our piling on. Without exception, everyone has bad moments in sports. Sports gambling has made that worse with some pro and college athletes getting death threats after a loss. "Lighten up, Francis."
Strive to be focused, coachable, hard-working, and a great teammate. Your teammates will appreciate and remember.
Lagniappe. If our attitude is off, we have already lost.
