I love this article from the Olympics.

It talks about Shawn Johnson’s coach allowing her to make mistakes. True champions are not afraid of make mistakes. The average person points out those mistakes, but without risking it all for fear of making a mistake won’t get you the Gold medal.
We will see what happens to Alicia, we hope she gets back up and go at it again. And not give up. I understand how it can be discourging, but now she has that invaluable experience to get through. As an athlete, we all have those days and we move on and fight another day. She’ll be fine.
