Here's the Truth: Failure Sucks
They say failure is one of the best teachers in life. I say this for two reasons. One is personal. Secondly, my eyes were opened today and I want my lesson to be a lesson to the rest of you. Failure hurts...bad. Es no bueno. Horrible guilty feeling. I don't know how I can describe how much it hurts to you, especially when it was something you poured your soul into. Remember this the next time you're in rehearsal. I'm not talking about advancing to state. I'm talking about coming off that field knowing that if we had just flexed our toes a little higher, if we had only held that note a little longer, if we had only hit that set a little harder, if we had only pushed that mile a little faster..., we might have made it. October seventh is looming ever closer.

failure isn't really that bad chris. Not when it has a purpose. Sometimes failure leads to a path in life that is better than the one you are currently on. And Chris, I'm not saying you are a bad section leader.
I wasn't really really talking about that as much as I was talking about how bad it will feel if we knew we could have done better, but didn't
ooh, chill bumps...I'm so proud of your enthusiasm and determination. Don't have any regrets when you march off the field, not matter the outcome. That is the only true success.
