Sure, if you have ever competed in a team sport, you have screwed up at key times which probably cost your team a win....

But I know one thing for sure, I never quit on my teammates......as another poster said, she wasn’t exactly Storming the Beaches of Normandy....

Amen. I rowed crew in college, and “catching a crab” — burying your oar too deep in the water & losing control of it — was about the worst thing to have happen in practice or during a race. The boat depends on eight rowers and the coxswain working in unison. But you don’t give up; you recover control of the oar and get back in the race! Make apologies after, and do not quit!

Ok. She messed up there. Which of her critics have scaled the heights she has? We all have our highs and our lows. Let’s see what happens next.

no doubt. But if a buddy who led you to victory in many battles had a single, but big, breakdown, would you abandon them? You wouldn’t. Let’s see.
