Succeed Through Failure?

Are athletic trainers as a profession taking advantage of our failures and learning from them, or just ignoring these bad outcomes?

We all know that we are not perfect. Then why do we keep perfection as the expectation? How do we explore nonoptimal situations to embrace and adapt to the circumstances to intelligently correct it?

The Columbia Space Shuttle Explosion could have been averted.

If NASA explored the foam failures that happened during testing it could have created options for when the failure happened during flight and saved the whole crew.

WWI the American Airforce was trying to figure out how to reinforce their planes in the dogfights. They were observing the planes that had returned back to base. A scientist finally noted that these enforcements were not decreasing the shoot down rate and that they were examining the wrong sample, they needed planes that had already been shot down to find the weaknesses to reinforce.

Intelligent Failures need to happen for progress but own your mistakes and accept failure.

You want to fail when life is not on the line, which ultimately result in better processes in the future.
