compete because you train...
OVERALL RATING
It wasn't until I realized that show or no show, I wanted to train because I loved training and I wanted to compete because I loved competing but I didn't want to simply train JUST so I could compete. And when I no longer focused on each day's sole purpose of reaching the stage, placing, winning, when the pressure to hit a deadline was no longer relevant, the decision to prep again became so much easier....I had now reached a point after almost 2 years of no shows in which I felt I was ready to compete and had trained by body and mind to a point in which it was prepared to do so..... Side note: there is a 30lb difference between these two pictures.....there is approx 3 years.....a 100 successes....a 1000 more failures....but just one smile
