Are risk and failure important for learning?
Risk, failure and relegation have their benefits, despite what a European Super League might suggest
In a potentially huge shake-up of the footballing world, six of the Premier League’s top clubs – Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham – are threatening to break away and join a European Super League.
The teams would join 12 of Europe’s best clubs, including AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid.
The controversial proposed new league means no risk of relegation for participating clubs. But in life, not just in football, isn’t it good to have the risk of failure to help spur you on?
Don’t be afraid to fail. Don’t let the risk of failure outweigh the possibility of your success.

What are your thoughts on this proposal? Do you believe we learn more from failure than we do from success? Is it important to have both in life? Have you ever been an underdog and risen?
