I once heard an interview with LA Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda in which the interviewer asked, “Tommy, how do you deal with loss?”
Lasorda’s response blew me away.
“Look,” he said, “We’re going to play 162 games this year and if we’re really good AND really lucky we’re still going to lose about one-third of them. That means one out of every three games, we lose. You simply have to prepare for it and get used to it.”
