Message: [QUOTE="All4SU, post: 4026325, member: 381"] I think it’s that. Plus, if you practice all week, we get to see how a kid performs and takes instruction for let’s say 15 hours. But you want to evaluate him only on how he performs for two hours. I’m guessing this is true in almost every profession: the actor who is great in auditions and rehearsal but tightens up when the curtain is raised; the salesperson who is great in the office, but put him or her in front of the client, and they can’t close; the teacher who creates great lesson plans, but is a babbling mess in front of a class. Ultimately, you’re right, their eventual evaluation will be determined by how they actually perform. But as a boss, or a coach, you’re going to delay that decision quite a bit until you have incontrovertible evidence in repeated situations. [/QUOTE]
