One of my favorite sayings is "Losers are those that don't try". That said, if you try then you can't lose. If you can't lose then you must win.

Everything that you mentioned in your post about work and effort is what causes us to be winners. These students are expanding their knowledge, experience and team work. This would not happen otherwise. When they enter "the real world" the skill sets that they are working for and learning puts them ahead of others. Learned FIRST skill sets and bright students are a winning combination. What else can be said?
