What Loss Teaches Us If We Let It

In this episode of The Daily Coach: Sports Leadership Lessons, we revisit Oregon State coach Mitch Canham's powerful reflection after a crushing postseason loss that forced his team to regroup and respond. His message underscores a truth every leader faces. Loss is not an interruption to the journey. It is part of the curriculum that shapes who we become. With calm perspective and gratitude, Canham reminds us that setbacks carry lessons about faith, resilience, and the long game of leadership. When we choose to let adversity teach us rather than define us, we strengthen our purpose and prepare ourselves for the opportunities that await on the other side of disappointment.
