Never felt bad at losing by a large amount at school sports as often I'd play a sport I was new to and the team as a whole didn't have much experience in. Some other schools seemed to have all the state players. I didn't really mind if we lost by some large amount. Most of the time we kept trying as best we could, except for our last game of cricket in year 9 where we were all sick of getting back about 2 hours after everyone else and just went out not caring.
The times I did play a sport which my school was good at I again just played the best I could. Though I can imagine that if you're about to win againts a much less skillful opponent you probably won't play like you would againts an equally skilled opponent (not as "fired up").
