We need to learn to deal with losing...If everybody wins, we're creating this false dome of not real life.
Ever wondered why losing stings so much, yet can be so transformative? In this episode of 'Livin the DREAM', Matt Scoletti tackles the often overlooked but crucial skill of learning to lose. Matt, a former alcoholic turned health coach, shares his own experiences with failure and how they’ve shaped his journey to success.
From losing almost every fitness event he's entered to being cut from his high school basketball team, Matt explains why these setbacks were pivotal moments in his life. Matt dives into the pitfalls of a culture that hands out participation trophies, arguing that it sets up unrealistic expectations. Real life, he says, isn't about everyone winning; it's about learning to bounce back when you don’t.
He uses the example of Michael Jordan, who famously got cut from his varsity basketball team, only to return stronger and more determined. This story underscores the idea that losing can be a powerful motivator if you let it be. He emphasizes that losing isn't just about sports or competitions; it’s about any setback in life—whether it's a failed relationship or a missed promotion. These losses, according to Matt, can push us to take positive risks and grow.
He believes that becoming the best version of yourself means embracing failure and using it as fuel to keep leveling up. Matt also touches on the importance of teaching kids to handle loss gracefully. He shares anecdotes about his own upbringing, where his father never let him win easily in games. This tough love approach instilled a drive in him to improve and succeed. The episode is filled with practical advice on how to turn losses into learning opportunities.
Matt’s personal stories make the message relatable and inspiring, showing that failure is not the end but a stepping stone towards greater achievements. So if you’re struggling with setbacks or just want to build more resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
