Your pen name says it all, don't give up.
It is not good that you are exposed to clumsiness in your training, but it is good that you can see it and recognise it. Many don't experience it until too late through no fault of their own.
Try to discuss these issues with your peers, learn to map read them and work your way around them.
Like falling off a log once you peg it all and the best way to do that is master the basics, then the advanced stuff becomes easier later..
