You’ve done the work thus far to demonstrate your strength on the platform. Don’t ruin it with poor food choices come meet day.

I’ve learned how to frame my meets so they are a positive and successful experience— no longer do I drink and cry (afterward). From goal setting to learning from mistakes to gaining some perspective, I hope a few of these tips help you.

One day you can have the best day of your life and the next day could be your worst. This week included both for me.

This weekend I cried more tears than I thought were possible. It was emotional, the entire thing, from start to finish. But, it’s something I had to do, for me.

You’re guilty of at least one of these things. Don’t be a shithead. Stop.
