Thank you, Lars Lentz for a fantastic tracking seminar. We learned how to look at our track training in new ways and can't wait to start implementing new techniques.

Have a safe trip home and we look forward to seeing you again next year.

And thank you to everyone who attended this fantastic weekend.

So much this! You may feel like you suck, but all that matter is you are still here.

So you suck. Good. That at least means you took the step of trying. Everyone starts by sucking, everyone. If your fragile ego can’t handle that, can’t handle the truth, fine, you pack up and leave. And suck the rest of your life. ⁣
⁣
OR.
⁣
You come back tomorrow. You still suck, but you’re okay with it being revealed that you suck, because you’re mature enough to accept that it’s true... for now. You keep coming back. You pick things up here and there. You start sucking less and less. Eventually you’re decent. You could pack up your things and leave now, knowing you’re okay for the rest of your life.⁣
⁣
OR.⁣
⁣
You could come back tomorrow. You stick with it. People come and quit everyday, but you’re still here. You’re actually getting good now, but it doesn’t go to your head, you’re still here, everyday, refining the fundamentals, mastering the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist. ⁣
