A Quote by Monty Williams

As soon as you lose one game, you're going to deal with the criticism. — © Monty Williams
As soon as you lose one game, you're going to deal with the criticism.
I think that it's perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don't want defeat. We don't want defeat in sport. We don't want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What's going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?
No one likes to lose, and that includes me, and I'm having to learn to deal with that; and I'm learning to deal with the physical game too.
If you lose a game, you lose a game. You've got to deal with it.
If you lose a race or game in hockey, you lose a game. That's it. If you lose a fight you might lose part of your brain because of the damage.
Nobody likes to lose. I'm not going to be happy and excited about that, but I'm still going to be me because I know from the bottom of my heart there's going to be a next game; maybe try to win the next game.
You can't just say, 'This team's going to win,' or 'This team's going to lose.' Anything can happen. So what you can control is winning your game as much as possible. If you don't do that, and then the other team has a chance to lose, and they lose, and you didn't go about it the right way, now you just let that slip.
It's a non-stop invention, this game of life, and as soon as you think you've got it, you lose it.
When you lose a game or don't play well you can't wait for the next one, because it soon disappears, the disappointment.
Criticism is always going to be painful. You live through it. I'll live through it now. It's even harder when you're younger. You don't have the maturity. You're still developing. If you get damaged while you're developing, it's a psychological battle after that. Today, if I get the criticism, I'm not bothered...if I wear the wrong thing, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Maybe when I was younger, I might have been more affected by that.
When you lose games against Slovakia and England, you're going to get the criticism that goes with it.
Criticism at the wrong time, even if it's legitimate criticism, can be seriously damaging and make the writer lose faith in what he's doing. It's the timing that's all-important.
As a player if you win 10 in a row and you lose one, or you lose 10 in a row, you are still going to be angry when you lose. It's the nature of the game.
I play in New York, man. Criticism is part of the game. You take criticism as a challenge.
I do not wish to lose my temper because very shortly I will lose my head. Nevertheless, upon leaving this spark of earthly existence, I have this to say: I shall see you all very soon ... very soon.
I love the game, but I'm not going to play the game for the rest of my life, so you need something else you're good at, another passion. You have to be well-rounded, or else you're going to burn out, and you'll lose passion for what you're doing.
I certainly like to win. But I really hate to lose. So when you think about that, you're always motivated to, 'I don't want to lose the next game. I don't want to lose the next game.'
