Lorena Cos, a sports psychologist from Calatayud, emphasizes the importance of teaching children how to handle defeat, as highlighted in her new book 'Perder también es de campeones.' She argues that failure is a fundamental aspect of learning that should be recognized rather than stigmatized. In her book, she addresses families and encourages them to view mistakes as opportunities for growth, rather than indicators of personal worth.

According to Cos, preparing children for failure is equally as important as preparing them for success. She insists that error is not an exception but rather the essence of the learning journey, revealing unknown facets of our abilities and helping us to grow. The misconceptions surrounding failure can lead to a fear of making mistakes, impeding development and personal growth.

In her work, Cos offers practical tools and insights for families to help children embrace their failures as part of their development. By reframing failure as a process of learning, she aims to equip the younger generation with the resilience and understanding needed to navigate challenges in life and sports alike, ultimately contributing to their overall character development.
