fall

You may have seen the amazing performance by U.S. skater Jeremy Abbott on Friday when he took a terrible fall but then recovered to finish very strongly.

The video of happened (I can only link to it since it’s not embeddable) will be a perfect addition to The Best Video Clips Demonstrating “Grit” though, since its seven minutes long, you probably want to only show the fall and its aftermath to students.

In addition, I’d supplement showing it with having students read some of the following articles:
