After a great weekend at the Eagan Tournament on Friday and Saturday, it’s time to get after it. Watching everyone perform at the tourney and show off their work and dedication inspired me today. I was thinking back to when I was more active in competitions and how I’d train over and over again. This journey feels similar, yet the goal is much different. I find myself studying each technique more and more, making small modifications to see if I can improve it. It isn’t just do it to get it over with, but a new level of measured discipline is the essence to stay focused on the task at hand. There are new learnings every day for me in places I least expect it, and it is leaving a feeling of wonder and awe. Part of me wished I had these insights years ago, while the other part of me acknowledges that I likely wasn’t ready for this level of detail.
