Read & Think : Winning Is Not Everything!

In 1953, Vanderbilt University football coach Red Sanders said, "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing." Since then, that philosophy has been taken to heart by many teams, coaches, and players. In order to win, a few teams have cheated by allowing unqualified players to compete. Some coaches embarrass players who have made mistakes on the field. Some athletes try to get an edge on their opponents by taking illegal and harmful drugs, such as steroids. "Is winning really the only thing?" Here is how six top athletes feel about the issue. They offer their thoughts on winning at all costs.

Courage

Some athletes earn their greatest victories by overcoming their own fears. Competitive rock-climber Bobbi Bensman once fell forty-five feet from a rock face in Colorado. It took courage for her even to consider climbing again. "When you're on the rock, sometimes you are scared and just trying not to fall, but you have to focus your mind on climbing," Bobbi says. "You must put your problems aside and think about the next move. Winning can mean a lot of things. I think that learning to overcome your fear is the most satisfying victory of all."

Persistence

Although the great athletes we see on television make it seem easy, succeeding in sports does not come easily for anyone. Five-time Olympic gold medalist Bonnie Blair was born into a family of speed skaters, but she did not begin to take the sport seriously until she was fifteen. "At twelve or thirteen I was basically cold on skates," Bonnie says. "Everyone kept encouraging me to stick with it, so I did." One positive thing about losing is that it shows you how far you have to go and what you need to do to succeed.

Teamwork

David Robinson of the National Basketball Association's (NBA's) San Antonio Spurs is no stranger to winning. His team is always near the top of the standings; and David has won the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, scoring and rebounding titles, and two Olympic gold medals. David says doing your best is often just as important as winning. He also thinks that team games teach you how to work together with other people and help each other out, and that losing teaches you not to give up, but to keep on trying.

Patience

Losing can be hard to handle, especially when your team is heavily favored to win. In 1991 the U.S. women's soccer team won the world championship. The next time the tournament was played, in 1995, the Americans were expected to recapture the title, but star forward Michelle Akers was injured and missed several key games. Michelle sat on the sidelines and watched her team finish third. "When we lost the 1995 World Cup, it helped me remember that people can't control the outcome of everything that happens," she says. "I like to think that God has a plan and I can learn to handle whatever comes my way."

Integrity

After years of struggling to make a living as a professional racquetball player, Ruben Gonzalez was on the verge of victory in a match against champion, Marty Hogan. At a critical point in the match, the referee made a ruling in Ruben's favor, setting up his chance to win. To the surprise of everyone, Ruben disagreed with the referee, ruled against himself, and eventually lost the match. "Of course winning is important, especially when you make your living by winning as I do," Ruben says, "but honesty and sportsmanship are more important. You must be able to look at yourself in the mirror and know you won fair and square. To win at all costs, even by cheating, is to not win at all."

Pride

Cal Ripken is one of the greatest players in the Major League Baseball(MLB) in the U.S.A., playing in 2,632 consecutive games from 1982 to 1998. He also became a symbol of everything that is great about the game of baseball. While he likes it when his Baltimore Orioles win games, he also remembers other years when his team lost more games than they won. "It's easy to act like a champion when you win, but you must act like a champion when you lose, too," Ripken says. "There's no reason to be ashamed of losing if you have given it your best. Losing is always easier to handle when you have done all you can."

As each of these great athletes has shown, winning is certainly important, but it's not the only thing. Doing the very best you can, working together as a team and helping others are qualities that are important in all aspects of life.
