In elite sports, coping with failure is an integral part of an athlete's life. Lindsey Jacobellis, a prominent snowboard cross competitor, was forced to confront her most public failure repeatedly during each Winter Olympics. At just 20 years old in the 2006 Turin Games, she attempted a flashy move in the final stretch of her race but fell, losing both her lead and the gold medal. This blunder haunted her throughout her subsequent Olympic appearances in 2010 and 2014, where she failed to reach the finals, a constant reminder of her past mistake.
