It's important to remind your friend that winning isn't the only thing that matters in a competition. Participating and putting in effort is a significant achievement on its own. Give her encouragement and focus on the positives of her experience.

Many successful people often remind us that it's the journey, not the destination, that matters. The experience you've gained by participating is invaluable and will surely contribute to your future successes.
Keep your head up and continue to strive towards your goals. I have no doubt that your hard work and determination will pay off. Remember, I'll always be here cheering you on!
