When Jeremy came to the coach to apologize for his bad performance and how he messed up when the coach really wanted him to impress the boys, the coach told him that he was as aspiring as he expected. Jeremy was a little surprised by the coach's statement and told him that if it would have been a competition, he would have gotten points deducted for various reasons. Before Jeremy could name any reason, coach interrupted him and explained it to him that the little kids need to know that you have to try, fail and still keep going, which they couldn't learn with a flawless execution.
