There used to be a show on called Angler on Tour or something like that. I
watched it a few times, and I hated it. The guy would do a show about his
personal experience preparing for tournament, fishing the tournament, and
recap afterwards. Its a good premise except he enver seemed to have a good
finish in any of those I watched, and his recap always sounded to me like
making excuses.

He would say, "I really didn't have the chance to prefish the way I wanted
to." Sounds like an excuse to me. More accurately I think he should have
said, "Because I didn't take the time to prefish properly the way a serious
pro should it cost me to not have more options open during the tournmant. I
wasted time during the tournament looking for spots and looking for fish
when I should have been fishing."

JMO. On the other hand, his new show where they do heads up competition
between two pros fishing out of the same boat is a lot more fun.

Analyze your performance, admit your mistakes, and use that to do better
next time. Don't make excuses like your performance is not your fault.
