They learned the lessons beyond how to pass the baton, run the hill, or \u201csnake\u201d the bar.&nbsp;&nbsp;Success in life: that, more than the wins and losses, is what it\u2019s all about.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Lesson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the hardest lessons was to convince them to be willing to risk failure.&nbsp;&nbsp;Big goals, big achievements always involve big risks.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whether it was winning the Conference by one point or plotting to win the state in a cabin on a hilltop, getting high school kids to \u201ctake the chance\u201d and risk disappointment was hard.&nbsp;&nbsp;No one wants to be disappointed; it would have been easier to make \u201csafer\u201d goals.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of each season there was always \u201cthe final\u201d lesson.&nbsp;&nbsp;More often than not, it was how to deal with failing to achieve that last, ultimate goal.&nbsp;&nbsp;I put it to them this way &#8211; have class in defeat.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whatever the outcome, it doesn\u2019t change who you are, and the work you have done.&nbsp;&nbsp;Have pride in the journey, of being willing to take the risks, success or failure.&nbsp;&nbsp;And sometimes it all worked,  and the lesson was to show class in victory, in ultimate success.&nbsp;&nbsp;I had to teach that one too.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sports is about winning and losing, so when you win, remember what it was like on the losing side.&nbsp;&nbsp;Show grace in victory, because we have all had to show grace in defeat.&nbsp;&nbsp;And sometimes, it was by just one point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sun Rise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Those same lessons apply to politics.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, that\u2019s where I learned them in the first place.&nbsp;&nbsp;In political campaigns you put your heart and soul into trying to succeed.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have the right candidate and the right ideas, you know that success will be more than just \u201cwinning\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;It will be about making your world a better place, improving life for more than just yourself.&nbsp;&nbsp;So defeat is so much harder.  It&#8217;s crushing.&nbsp;&nbsp;You lose not just for yourself, but for all of those that would benefit from your ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defeat, failure to achieve that ultimate goal: it was so bad that the world seemed to stop.&nbsp;&nbsp;The sun clearly could not come up \u2013 this bad day would last forever.&nbsp;&nbsp;But that was a lesson to be learned too.&nbsp;&nbsp;The next morning, no matter how bad the loss, the sun still rose. And with that, the journey began again.&nbsp;&nbsp;The sun came up, and it was time for new goals, time to plan a new journey.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of us re-learned that lesson in the early morning hours of&nbsp;&nbsp;November 9<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;of 2016.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unimaginably, all of our collective ideas and goals were tossed away.&nbsp;&nbsp;To paraphrase President Gerald Ford, for the majority of us, a \u201clong national nightmare\u201d began \u2013 the Trump Administration.&nbsp;&nbsp;And as we know now, it turned out to be far worse than any of us even imagined on that long dark night that seemed to last for years.&nbsp;&nbsp;From the Muslim Ban to Child Separation, Russia to Ukraine, \u201cfine people on both sides\u201d to \u201cI\u2019ll march with you to the Capitol\u201d:&nbsp;&nbsp;it\u2019s been a long, long four years.&nbsp;&nbsp;It ended just as badly as it began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Somehow the win of Biden\/Harris this past November feels more like winning the Conference by one point than some overwhelming victory.&nbsp;&nbsp;While more than 81 million Americans voted for Biden and Harris, 74 million voted for Trump and Pence.&nbsp;&nbsp;Almost half of our nation now has that same long night we had in 2016.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel good about the win.&nbsp;&nbsp;Today, Joe Biden will become the President of the United States.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the next few days, the United States will rejoin the Paris Accord, remove the Muslim Ban, and make it a government priority to reunite the remaining separated children with their families.&nbsp;&nbsp;The XL pipeline will be canceled once again, and the Federal Government will finally \u201ctake charge\u201d of the COVID vaccination program.&nbsp;&nbsp;And that\u2019s just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sun rose this morning on a new America.&nbsp;&nbsp;But it\u2019s an America that is still divided, still shocked by the Insurrection, and a long way from Reagan\u2019s \u201ccity on a hill\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, my Resistance, my Democratic friends, savor \u201cthe win\u201d today.&nbsp;&nbsp;But learn this lesson from an old Coach:  show class in our victory.&nbsp;&nbsp;We need our fellow Americans, even those that voted for Donald Trump.&nbsp;&nbsp;We need them to be a part of our team effort.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I saved my Biden signs from the election, and I thought about putting them back out last night, just for today.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead, I\u2019m making sure the US Flag is waving high in front of our house.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s the \u201cclass\u201d thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Post Script<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em> I watched President-Elect Biden speak<\/em> <em>to the nation twice yesterday.
