No matter what field you're in, it can be difficult to accept criticism of your work. But sometimes that criticism is the very thing that pushes us to be better.
Ever since the current judging system was put in place, figure skaters have been obsessing over their score numbers, right down to the decimal point. After a competition, they want to know how they were judged on each element of a program and what they did wrong. They take that information and use it to make their next performance better. If they launched a jump from the wrong edge of the blade, they work on it. If a jump did not have enough complete rotations, you can bet they will try to improve that.
What a great example for those of us who are competing in a different type of arena: take the comments and criticisms and use them to make yourself unbeatable.
