It’s April 2016 and I’m in my childhood bedroom in upstate New York, staring at the competition score sheet for one of my dance solos.

Everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect. If at first you don’t succeed, try again.

Flashing back to last weekend when I got to share the stage with Dan Patrick to discuss the difference between feedback and criticism with Full Sail Sportscasting students.

I am convinced that while the online environment is inherently different than a face-to-face classroom, there is still the opportunity to engage students deeply with the content and the instructor.
