Good sport, bad sport

A good sport says “no sweat!” when someone makes an honest mistake.

A good sport says “it happens!” when someone drops the ball when it matters.

A good sport says “next time!” when something doesn’t work out on your watch.

And if that other person is also a good sport?

Together, they’re destined to produce great things.

Now…

A bad sport says “it better not happen again” when someone makes an honest mistake.

A bad sport says “how could this happen” when someone drops the ball when it matters.

A bad sport says “there will be no next time” when something doesn’t work out on your watch.

And if that other person is also a bad sport?

Neither will produce anything great until they change.

Which are you?
