As an athlete, dealing with failure is never easy. \u00a0Growing up, I absolutely despised losing. \u00a0But there is something about failure that actually can benefit someone more than it can hurt them. \u00a0One of my failure stories brings me back to my freshman year of college. \u00a0So only a year ago. \u00a0After coming off a hot summer of good golf, I was more than ready to tackle my first semester of college golf. \u00a0Disappointingly enough, I ended up playing no where near to my potential. \u00a0As frustrated as I was, instead of wining like a little baby, I grew from it. \u00a0Having a lot of time to sit back and think about what I did wrong, that winter served me well. \u00a0Not only was I able to identify what aspect of my game was causing me the biggest trouble, but I was able to take that and run with it heading into the spring season. \u00a0I ended up playing some really solid golf and lead the team with one of the lowest 18-hole averages. \u00a0Looking back, if I didn’t treat my failures the way I did, by no means would I have been able to effectively turn things around for the better.<\/p>\n

Similar to my story, if a salesperson can’t take failure as a positive learning experience, there won’t ever be room for growth. \u00a0As imperfect human beings, we are all going to fall short and make decisions that may lead to failure. \u00a0It’s how we deal with that failure that makes us who we turn out to be.<\/p>\n
