I too view defeat as a learning experience. The best failures are the ones that anger me. I consider them the most transformative.

Take it hard enough to leave an imprint for next time(so much you don't make the same mistake twice), but not enough for you to anticipate a future failure.

or failure.

what do you think of it and how do you cope with it?

i personally try really really hard to think of it as a good thing. to think of it as a learning experience. even though i still get beaten down by it and its painful.

Don't fail.

I've learned over the course of my life to love losing and hate winning. When I lose, there's room to learn something new, the potential for drive, and room to appreciate another's talents. When I win, all it does is show that I am better off than my opponent and, at most, I might gain a story worth telling about it. 

My only sore spot is when there's some form of cheating or poor judging in play, whether it's in my favor or their's, as then nothing is learned by either side. It steals the potential from the experience when someone robs us of it.

I think cheating makes a way better learning experience, regardless of which side its on.

Poor judge is something to consider as a variable before hand.

I could see that sort of positive thinking leading to never finding closure.

That's potentially dangerous in the wrong hands.
