Gauging Improvement

With another Tournament Weekend ahead of us, we can still easily recall the height of emotions from the last. Hopefully as a competitor, you have gone back to your successes and your failures of last tournament and worked towards improving the two.

As we know, practice makes perfect, and serious practice gets us there faster. If you put forth your goals of improvement after last tournament and worked towards them you have no doubt improved. But the extent of your progress has been determined by your will to exceed your own limits. Remember, your fellow competitors from last tournament have improved as well, and this weekend will show who has worked harder.

My suggestion is to take a more analytical approach to your competition this weekend. Highlight the factors you feel are your best assets and try to break down the elements of those who excelled in their divisions. More than anything else, look at yourself at the end of the day, and compare it to yourself from one month ago. In that, you will see the fruits of your labors, the payoff of all your hard work... your own personal growth.

Good luck this weekend!!!
