winners and losers
"The difference between winners and losers is how they handle losing." That's from a blog about resilience, on a Harvard business law blog.
Andres said, "the difference between a winner, is that they win, and a loser, loses."

strengths at Jujitsu today
William and Andres,
You demonstrated toughness, yet not too rough with others, let go when tapped, worked well with others, flexible in using new partners, had a good esprit de corps but assertive for your needs. Patient when odd man out, did not talk or cause trouble. I didn't see the sensei rebuke you for misbehavior. You didn't get discouraged when the teacher raised his voice to others.
I feel proud, respected, honored by your efforts. I see improvements, your efforts to make the most of the moment. So proud you have stuck to it, you're not fickle or flighty, you didn't quit when things got tough.
You demonstrated kinesthetic intelligence, strength, dexterity, and self respect, plus the ability to work with others and learned difficult skills.
Looking for in future:
1. encouraging others and appreciation of excellence in others.
2. Greater mastery of skills.
3. Deeper knee bends.
You got water and did the bathroom before class, on time for class, prepared and ready.
You worked on hard skills, did very technical stuff, learned complicated skills, new and foreign terms. You might not always completely understand or have the skill down perfect, but I always saw you trying and learning, watching closely and observing, trying to improve.
You exercised vigorously, good effort, serious effort, never gave up or took it easy, full effort for the whole time. Made me proud. Saw sweat. You made the most of the class. Didn't let the heat get to you, and you pushed through fatigue. I saw you rise up to the intensity of the moment.
You followed directions closely, took instruction seriously, moved quickly when asked, crisp precise movements, did very complicated things. On task and focused. You didn't get discouraged if you didn't get something right away. Responded to sensei when asked for a response. You moved to see demonstrations, eager to learn. Asked questions when you needed to.
