When you Lose

Jordan was excited for the big game at school. It was his first time playing in the soccer team, and he had practiced a lot. He put on his shoes, tied them tight, and ran to the field. His heart was racing with excitement and a bit of nervousness.

The Big Game

The game started, and Jordan ran as fast as he could. He kicked the ball, passed it to his teammates, and tried his best to score. But no matter how hard he played, the other team was just a bit faster. By halftime, Jordan's team was behind.

Playing Hard

In the second half, Jordan played even harder. He could feel his legs getting tired, but he didn't give up. In the last few minutes, he had a chance to score. He kicked with all his might, but the ball hit the post and bounced away.

The Moment of Truth

Jordan felt sad and disappointed. But then, his coach came over, put a hand on his shoulder, and said, 'You played great, Jordan. Winning is fun, but it's not everything. What's important is you tried your best.' Jordan smiled, feeling a bit better. He knew he would be ready to try again next time.
