I've seen a lot of controversy surrounding Team USA at the Winter Olympics in Italy.
I don't understand it, and I think as Americans, we should reject it.
I don't know about you, but I'm inspired by Team USA's extraordinary Olympic athletes. As a mom of two boys, I'm proud of our men's hockey team − they're fantastic athletes and role models. As a mom of girls, I'm proud of the women's hockey team − they're inspiring and show my girls they can do anything. As a woman who's given birth four times and feels nostalgic about my days as an athlete, I'm blown away by the strength of the Olympic moms − of whom there are nine.
I think we can learn a lot from these Olympians about how to handle our own wins, losses, setbacks and successes in life, not just in sports.
The U.S. men's hockey team won gold against Canada, longtime foes, in a riveting 2-1 win on Feb. 22. It was the first time they'd won gold since besting the Soviet Union in 1980. It was historic. Victorious, the team's buoyant joy flooded their locker room, where they took a call from President Donald Trump.
