Whoooooo!!!! It is almost that time!!! In 14 days I'll be on a bus headed to College Station, Tx to compete in my first meet of the 2011 season.
But, before I get into all of that I hope you all had a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year.
Okay, now back to the reason why we're all here--my road to a national title.
I'm doing things a little differently this year. Instead of going into track meets hoping to do my best, I've mapped out marks I want to hit at each meet, so I don't peak to early or get to comfortable with my performances. Not only do I have my mind set on winning a national title, but I'm set on reaching my goal of throwing 60ft in the shot and 60 meters in the discus.
Remember earlier in the year when I said my rhythm was kind of off, but I wasn't really concerned? Well, things are starting to feel better, which is a good sign. We've been on Christmas vacation for 2 weeks now and I can honestly say I haven't missed a day of training. Because of that, doing some studying and having some alone time to drill and focus, I've found my rhythm. I still get off beat from time to time, but I can get back into sync a little easier than before. Overall, though, I think I'm gonna be just fine!!!!
Now, looking forward to the season ahead: expect greatness!!! This is my senior season, if I don't do it big this year, I won't have another opportunity. I can either look back at this season knowing that I left everything I had in the ring or look back and regret not doing things differently. Well, I don't plan on living with regrets, so I'm going all in at every meet. I won't be satisfied until my name is in the history books!!!
The 2011 season is here . . .LEGGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELCOME
Hello and Thank you to anyone who is taking time out of their day to read my blog. I am so excited to share a part of my life with you and I hope along the way you will gain something from this experience as well.
Let me start by saying in 2012 I will be in London competing for my country in the Olympic Games--well, at least that's my plan. It's gonig to take a lot of hard work to get there, but I plan to give everything I have to achieve my goal.
Presently, I'm entering my senior season as a collegiate shot putter/discus thrower. I spent most of last year on the outside looking in; this year I'm going to be the main attraction. By the end of this season I will be an NCAA champion.
I think I got a little comfortable last year and didn't reach my full potential, which is why I created this blog, so I can be accountable to myself and everyone who supports and encourages me. I will be blogging about my last year as a NCAA thrower and my journey to the 2012 Olympic Trials.
I titled this blog "Mark" because that's the one word I want to hear when I finish a throw. If I have the best throw of my life, it means nothing if the red flag goes up.
With all that said, let the journey begin!!!
