So in my health class yesterday we had a great lesson about how sometimes students will "downshift," which basically means they just stop trying because they don't believe they can do it. They'd rather not try than fail, basically. My professor, who is awesome (I think I have a lot of amazing professors this semester), showed us this video to illustrate the point of NOT downshifting. At the beginning of the video, when the kid is falling, my professor said, "Don't downshift man, keep going," and maybe I'm just emotional in general but it made my heart swell, for lack of a better description. Take the time to enjoy this video. It is amazing.
