There has been a lot of talk lately about individual performances and how they measure up to the best. I get frustrated from time to time with my scores compared to Blake and Hiro, but I have to realize that they are amazing athletes and will be competing the Regionals (no small task). If you want to see your performance to continue to go up and be competitive, we must realize how much preparation and dedication is needed to become an elite athlete. Take a look at your nutrition, your rest and trust in the programming (Chad is doing an amazing job), and put the time and effort in to become an elite athlete. Just remember it won't happen over night, but with attention to detail we can push each other to be better athletes and represent the Shed down in Kirkland and show everybody just how good we are.

    Eric, thank you for the compliment but it should be noted that I am not doing this in a vacuum. Specifically, insight from you and Trent has played a huge role in programming selection.

    I also want to reiterate how important nutrition and rest are to your performance.
