~:[CH13 - Day 10]:~ Practice Makes Perfect

I really emphasize the importance of the night sessions in preparation for Nationals. The students accepted to the team spend a few nights before the conference at school, practicing and preparing. Yes, we are still over eight weeks away from the conference, still yet, the process begins now. We tend to get a number of students who are good at procrastinating. Yes, they are incredible, but when it comes down to some of our trainings, they find it difficult to succeed. Why? As talented or knowledgeable as you may be, you need the opportunity to run through the things you aim to be good at . For these students, I am trying to help them learn how to prepare themselves and help them understand just how much work is required to move to the higher tiers of performance. Many might thing that simply research and studying that research will help you improve, however, it's also the practice that's going to bring on success. As the students' nerves raged a bit, I was excited to see how much they cared about improving and doing well. Its a long process and with a few months to go still, we have the time to practice and I just hope that these students see what they need to do and step up to exceed what is expected of them. Tonight some people excelled and other struggled, but for either, I know that the possibility of success for them is high if they really put their mind to it. Let's practice at what we hope to achieve so that we can find our way to perfection in the end.
