Sup sherbros. and shersisters,
A couple of months ago a fighter that went to my gym lost his MMA bout.
I was rooting for him and encouraging him and then felt bad after he lost because I didn't know how to approach him afterward [I just thanked for him his class when he taught an MMA class and asked him what he's planning for his career next- he's visibly distressed].
Yesterday a guy that I train with [I casually train jiu-jitsu but there are a lot of combat athletes that go to the MMA gym that I go to] lost his first amateur bout.
What's the best way to conduct oneself around fighters after they lose in a way that's good for them?
I want to let them know that I still root for them no matter what but at the same time I don't want to rub salt into unhealed wounds.
