Tommy G Talks - Episode 132: Is it the taking part that counts? Really?
It's been a while...But let's get stuck in.
We have all heard the saying "it's the taking part that counts."
But what does that actually mean? and is it really a cop out or a sympathy vote for someone that didn't win?
Let's dive into it a bit today.
Sport has done wonders for me in my life. i have learned so much from "the taking part" when I have won and when I have lost.
Because the thing is, without the taking part, neither are possible and all growth is off.
I hope you enjoy this episode. It references a speech I gave recently at a local secondary school. I was asked to give an "inspirational speech" for their end of year sports awards, and this is the theme I went with.
Let me know your take on it and come say hi on Instagram @Tommygentleman
