Pics From USA Taekwondo East Grand Prix...

Here are some pics that I got from the event.  T had fun and learned a lot and is going to continue to learn even more to grow and be an even better fighter.  So proud of this kid.  He didn't walk away with a win but he learned a lot.

He walk out to the ring with confidence (see pic 1) and with his fight face on.  He was ready to meet the challenge of this competitor.  He fought hard and barely lost to him.  

He, however, needs to work on his communication with his coach though and make it even better than it already is.  T knew this competitor well from watching him over and over again through the years.  His coach didn't though.  His coach was asking him to do moves that if T did them would've been countered in a really bad way before he could even do the move.  He wanted to listen and do what his coach was asking but he also knew his opponent well from all the fights he's watched him fight over the years.  These are things that T needs to communicate to his coach about.  Good communication is important and he's told us he's gonna work on being better about it.  Coaches can't coach well if they don't have knowledge of what you have knowledge of.  That knowledge has to be shared.  T could've won that fight and if they meet again, which I'm sure they will, he will be more ready than he was this last time.
