Receiving Advice

This was a particularly interesting article to read because it was so relatable... It was titled "Elit Athletes Listen to Their Coaches, Do You?" Funny because my mentor is also my coach! While I was reading the article it talks about athletes and coaches conversing about previous actions and adjusting them to be better.. Right away a memory popped up.. Drew often tells me after a missed attempt at high jump to move my mark slightly, or focus on shortening my steps so I can drive up better. At first its scary. It's like really! take an entire foot length FORWARD for my high jump approach! You're sure!???!?!? But I trust him, he's really good at seeing what can be adjusted or whats out of sorts, the hard part is trusting myself to make sure I make the adjustment and then still execute the approach the same way and keep my mind clear. So the article focused a lot on how to take advice, and with my coaches that's never really been a problem, when it's my dad trying to coach me maybe thennn its a litte different or like in ART  class! I hated getting advice on what could be better with my drawings or paintings cause I always felt they were how I wanted them, but of course that third person perspective is useful to consider. For my wise presentation I plan to stay very open minded about all the advice I receive but still make sure that I get out there everything I want the audience to know.
