One thing that you won't miss if you're tuning in to watch the Summer Olympics is loss and disappointment, more so even than victory and celebration. The games, and the journey to get there, are filled with grief, setbacks, rejection, loss, and pain. The question for every athlete who experiences loss is this: what will you do with it? Will you allow it to define you and predict your path? The same question applies to us because no one escapes those types of experiences.

Scott Hamilton has faced stage 4 testicular cancer and three brain tumors. He famously lost his high-profile dream broadcasting gig to two much younger people and he's overcome a lifetime of hardships, including being adopted, being "too short" to skate and falling in love with figure skating, a sport his family couldn't afford. The Olympic gold medalist, broadcaster, author and father says despite it all, he remains an eternal optimist. He talks to Growing Bolder about his latest book, Finish First: Winning Changes Everything, and explains why he wants to change the recent perception that a drive to be the best is a bad thing.

Some interesting insights from this episode: Finishing first doesn't necessarily mean finishing first. Accomplishing whatever goal you set for yourself is a finish first moment. “The only disability in life is a bad attitude.” It was his mother's passing that was the catalyst which woke him up and allowed him to take his skating to another level. He gave away all his medals and trophies because he didn't want to let them be an anchor to prevent him from moving forward. All of the losing earlier in his career was actually great preparation for ultimately learning how to compete and win. “Excellence is leveraging everything we have to live the best life we possibly can.”

How do you handle failure? Do you count up all of the ways the odds are stacked against you? Or do you make the decision that regardless of circumstances, you are not going to let failure define your career, relationships, or life? Scott Hamilton is an Olympic Gold Medal winner and a 4-time World Champion figure skater. From 1981-1984, he was on top of the world - the best in his sport. But Scott wasn't always a winner, and his life has not been perfect (before or since). He has had his fair share of losing, disappointments, and difficult circumstances. One thing has remained constant throughout Scott's life throughout it all: he never gives up. In his new book, Finish First: Winning Changes Everything, Scott demonstrates the principles of winners who know their purpose and chase it with open hands and open hearts.
