The one I’m coaching at the Games just missed out on a medal yesterday.

They say 4th is the worst place to finish at the Olympics. I’ve finished 4th before myself and then finished 3rd in the next Games. And, indeed, there is a massive contrast. A medal speaks a lot for itself. But still, 4th is better than 5th and 6th, etc.

There are lessons to be learnt about yourself no matter where you finish in terms of how you handle yourself and how you deal with those around you who have helped you along the path to that major goal. My girl gets full marks all around.
