Lydia aspires to have a solo in her school’s top choir before she graduates. However, after her choir auditions, she was placed in the lowest choir. All of these are examples of how Lydia can bounce back from this setback EXCEPT:

• Research her favorite singers and learn what they did to improve their singing abilities

• Increase the amount of time she puts into her weekly vocal exercises and consider other exercises

• Accept that she was just “off” in her audition and believe she deserves to be in the top choir

• Continue to tell herself that even if she’s not good enough to be a soloist yet, she will be one day

• Ask the choir director what she needs to improve and suggestions for doing so

Benefits of experiencing failure and bouncing back from setbacks include:

• studying ways to be better

• increasing effort

• learning from failure

• using self-talk to guide learning

• all the above
