Disappointed when you get eliminated - absolutely! You have the right to feel any way you want for as long as you want.

I am in agreement, it is disappointing when you don’t do what you set out to do. For most FIRST teams that is winning the National Championship. It was certainly one of our goals. You need to feel like a winner to be a winner. For those 2 minutes during a match, all you can think about is winning the match. It’s is emotional and feels really bad when your name is not listed under the 1st place finisher. I have comforted many kids (and adults) when we've been eliminated. We get very emotional, but you let out the emotion and get over it.

Did we ever lose - nope - we cannot lose. If I thought we could, I would be devastated and I probably wouldn’t stick around for more than 1 year (I’ve done this for 8 now and am looking forward to the kickoff 8 months from now).

It's all in the attitude.
You may think it’s corny, and you are entitled to your opinion, but I don't see it as corny.
Our team came away from the weekend feeling like a million dollars.
The disappointed feeling for us was over 30 minutes after the last match.
