a bad loser

Does "bad loser" mean "a loser who resents losing, showing anger or bad emotions"?

33)Having a strong will to win is not a bad thing. It can lead you to success, to great achievements. The problem comes when you want to win so badly all the time that you cannot accept losing. Being a bad loser ruins perfectly good relationships. Being a bad loser gives rise to a whole lot of negative emotions like bitterness and anger. Wanting to keep winning all the time makes you lose sight of what you have already won, what you have already achieved. What you already have proves insufficient and you keep wanting more. There are positives in losing too. You learn from your mistakes. You learn to appreciate the times that you do win. And you give others a chance to win. In life, there are winners and there are losers. Realize that you don’t
