T qualified to do team trials this year but we just found out yesterday where those team trials are going to be held. We were all under the impression that it was going to be happening here in NC but it's not. Because of recent events in our lives here I don't think doing team trials is going to be something we can do. I hate it for T because he's worked so hard but we have to weigh things in light of all that we are dealing with here at home, with the business, and if it really is beneficial for T to do too. If he were to go to this event he would have to fight as a first year Junior fighter fighting 17 year olds in his same weight division with 2 1/2 more years maturity/experience on him. We are proud of all he's accomplished but his and our desire is to keep him moving forward in this sport and staying home and training more and doing local, drivable, events will be better for him rather than taking major trips for these larger tournaments where he will be dealing with the age/maturity/experience level difference all year as a first year Junior fighter. This is where we are thinking currently. We are still digesting it all and trying to figure the best path for T moving forward before we make any knee jerk decisions though. Just wanted to share where we were in our thoughts about it all though. We will see how God guides us moving forward. We are always in much prayer when making these kind of decisions in regards to T and this sport he loves so much.
