I am furious that we lost! I should go give them a piece of my mind.
Aw, I'm upset that we lost. However, before I talk to anyone, I should take a moment to calm down.
Yay! We won!
That match was so unfair! Your team played horribly and you didn't deserve to win!
Her rude language shows that she is struggling to exercise verbal self-control. She should have stopped and calmed herself. Next, she should have thought about the different ways she can react. Then, she should have considered the consequences of the different reactions.
I'm sorry you feel that way...
I can also exercise self-control by showing good sportsmanship and congratulating the other team on the win. This option seems to be the best because the other team will feel nice. This option also encourages me to see the loss in a positive way. For instance, I can use the events from this game to improve my skills!
I can rage at the other team and mope about the loss. However, this option is terrible because it will make me feel worse about losing. It is also disrespectful to the other team.
It's so tempting to get my disappointment off my chest, but it's more important to remember that a negative reaction will not help anyone.
Good game! Your team played really well!
She has such a positive reaction! Her body language is so calm and she's staying away from using any foul language. I can only imagine how upset she must be, but her self-control abilities must be amazing if she's able to stay this calm and positive!
Yeah that was a great game! Your team put up a strong fight.
Positive vs Negative Reactions: Always take the positive route!
