Have you ever tried something new and only had someone tell you how horrible you are the entire time? It's like hold up why on earth should I do this if it makes me miserable?? Right now that's the situation I'm in.

It's my first year on the dance team and I know that I have a lot to improve on. I work really hard and try to apply corrections as we go. Yet I am finding that each day I enjoy it less and less. I know a few girls who feel the same way. We walk into the gym knowing we are inadequate. Yet this issue can easily be bypassed so we can move on with the routine, better than ever.

Constructive critisism is the main point I'm trying to get at. Ugh I wish I had something better to call it considering that is such a generic term, but it's the best I have. I'm not pointing fingers at our captains at all since making corrections is a group effort, but they are the leaders. Telling some one they did great and can do even better if they improve ___. is great. Instead we are often hearing people saying your leading with your knee and all the kicks were wrong. Is that helpful? Not particularly. Who knows maybe that is the way to go for some girls. Tough love gets it done and I just need to suck it up. But I'm not the only one so perhaps I have a point...
