Prep Sports Columnist A reader, to whom I am indebted, suggested it is I who needs an attitude adjustment. Recently I have been simplifying the solutions to problems and focusing on non-productive negatives about school sports. Optimism, positiveness, and hope are characteristics of those who look for every opportunity to win. When that does not occur, it is looked at as a learning experience.
Positiveness is concerned with process.
In sports, at home or in the classroom, the reasons and definition of success and failure nearly always includes attitude. Or somewhere in between. Attitude has a great deal to do with success or failure, especially for kids. An attitude may represent what an individual anticipates. Sports and family just may be the most influencing training grounds for attitude adjustment.
