Thought of the Week: A little thought on the mental side of the sport (and life) as we approach the final weeks of the season... "You know those worries that keep popping into your head? You don't have to do anything to them.  It's like stopping your life to solve farts.  You can't solve them! Trying to solve them IS the problem."
-Mark Freeman
I don't know about the fart stuff, but trying to solve all the doubts that enter into your mind is a big problem.  Usually our biggest enemy is our own self.  As we get to our biggest meets of the year and you look at what you want to accomplish (maybe a PR, a State Qualifier, a Region title, a State placer, or even a State title), the best thing you can do with all those doubts and thoughts that come into you mind is to just let them go.  At this point in time, you've done all the work.  Just get out of your own way and quit worrying.  Go be your best self.  Let 'er rip!
