Even though I’ve lived in Australia for over 40 years, I still have a soft spot for two sports teams from my home city, Kingston Upon Hull in England.
I follow Rugby League team Hull KR and Hull City ‘Tigers’ AFC. Hull City have been in the Premier League for two seasons and have struggled. This season their poor results mean they will be relegated back to the Championship League.
This video was posted on their website, it’s an interview with long term Tigers player George Boateng who discusses how the players feel about being relegated. I found it remarkably refreshing to hear that they themselves accept responsibility.
Take a few minutes to watch and listen for yourself. It’s a great lesson in graceful acceptance of both defeat and responsibility. Here’s the video.
