Training Week

T is getting ready for the Atlanta Open this weekend with his team. Training is more intense these days as his coach is trying to get T ready for his first year as a cadet starting in January. Lots of preparation going on. We are doing our best to work with his coach to get him to his best potential for his first Cadet year. Lots of mental training is happening too. You can have all the moves and techniques but if your mind isn’t where it needs to be for fighting then your matches are going to be even more difficult. It’s being stressed big time right now from us and his coach for him to work/train very hard so that he is ready for what’s coming when he ages up to his new division in January. It’s natural for there to be a little nervousness but the goal is to help him be less nervous and more ready for his new division. I know he’s going to be learning a ton this next year. It is my hope and prayer that what he learns helps him to be the best TaeKwonDo fighter that he can be. He’s such a talented kid. I don’t want to see that talent go to waste. I’m praying that in the weeks and months ahead that he really pushes himself harder than he ever has so that he can fight the best he ever has. TaeKwonDo has changed the direction we thought our lives were going. We may have our plans but God has His own plans that override ours. I’ll try to get some pictures tomorrow. I’ve been paying such close attention to all that he’s learning that I haven’t taken hardly any pictures.
