USAT did a special zoom session online Sunday afternoon. T got to participate and enjoyed every moment of it. T knew both Coach Tim (T's body coach) and Coach Stephen (2016 Olympian) personally. They've both been instrumental in T's life in regards to TaeKwonDo over the years. Although the pictures don't show it this was a big core workout for T and he was feeling it afterwards. One of T's big goals with TaeKwonDo Sparring is to get his stamina where it needs to be and also get his core strength where it needs to be. He is also working on his speed when doing techniques. Speed is key when you are a short fighter. Speed keeps you from getting dominated by the taller opponents. Here are some pics:
We are just a few days out from traveling to Texas for an event. T feels good and ready for this event and looking forward to being able to learn his new weight division going forward. He is on weight for this event too. He weighs in Saturday and Fights on Sunday. When you don't have to cut and just eat clean it makes a big difference in how you feel. Eating clean is all it takes to get him on weight. That's a great feeling to be able to do that. After what happened last summer he will never actually cut to be on weight ever again. If eating clean doesn't get him there then he fights up and that's all there is to that. The coach he will have going forward starting June 1st is on that same page too. It is so nice to be on the same page and everyone wanting to help T move forward in all that he is wanting to accomplish. Keep checking back as I will be posting and updating everyone as everything happens this weekend at the tournament. We are looking forward to seeing how things go to because it's a big adjustment when you move up weight divisions. Learning and growing is what it's all about. #GodsPlan
