I met Lance Armstrong shortly after he won his 7 th Tour de France. He refused to be interviewed by a woman (not me) causing us to scramble madly. A few weeks later the doping scandal broke. Indeed, winning is not everything
I love the landing you make at the end of this gymnastic essay: the "endgame" - what true success looks like - has everything to do with "the condition of (our) relationships and the depth of (our) kindness." Wow. Just wow. Thanks for taking your thoughts over the finish line.
Wow Elizabeth, I am honored to have won and smitten with this kind cameo in your world of gifted writing. So sorry that experience happened to your daughter. Thank you for telling its story. It's so important to speak loud about these bullies of the world to silence their behavior.
Little does officer meanie know- I’m the true winner. I bet HE doesn’t have a mom as talented as mine!! Beautifully written, mommy. Thank you for including me in your story x

Certainly not everything if we're going with the more conventional definition of winning. Quite a story, Sara. Thanks for sharing that.

Ha, thanks, Stew. Is it called "sticking the landing?" Maybe I drilled that game metaphor until it dropped from exhaustion. :) Appreciate the comment!

Congrats again, and thanks for being part of the community, Jordan. Also, bully is the right word choice. Hmmph!

The true winner is right! And, whether his mom is talented or not, I hope she'd remind him that power doesn't have to look like bullying.
