Our men’s speed skating team had a tough 2014 Winter Olympics. In reflecting on this, master skater Apolo Anton Ohno, winner of eight medals, a record for a U.S. Winter Olympian, offered the following advice when things don’t go well: 1) look at the positives, and 2) ask – what can I learn from this? Notice that there is no blame or shame. The process is simple, and the focus is completely positive and constructive. It’s also concentrated on the future: what can I learn so I can do better next time? Take his advice when you’re not having the success you’d like, and you’ll find it’s applicable to any area – academics, career, healthy lifestyle, or relationships.
