Feeling inadequate as a handler

[Silaria]

Sophie, I just stumbled on a few YouTube videos that made me think of this thread. If nothing else, it reminds us that even the best handlers have off days. (I've also made some of these mistakes myself.)

We do not learn from things we do well. We CAN learn from our mistakes.
Are you better handler today than lets say 6 months ago?

Very nice compilation of runs from major competition. Yes, we all make mistakes, we are nervous when competing and we can learn from our mistakes, but sometimes even if you put in your best effort you fail.

I saw Janita/Jakko vid on FB Nice reminder that even perfect teams fail every now and then. I wish I could train with them one day
