I am very proud of you ladies. As we move forward and prepare for our next competition, think about this; your success if powered by you. The amount of effort you put forth, the amount of attention you pay to details, the smile on your face, the postion of your hands and feet, the direction of your head, the spinning of your flag, the confidence with your rifle...... it is all powered by the person doing the work. Instruct, aid, advise, correct and clean we will do, but in the end you have to find what makes you want it. It might be the possibility of first place at Hoover, or maybe its the enjoyment of improving individually, perhaps it's the motivation of your peers, or the desire to NOT be in last place EVER, or the simple fact of success that drives you.

Whatever the driving factor is.... NOW is the time to put it into action. We cannot wait until the week of March 14th to decide that we want to be the best. For some it will take hard work in practice and pushing yourself and the ones around you. For some it will take practice at home to make sure that you understand what is being asked of you and for some of you it will be the need to work with a friend, someone you feel comfortable with that can give you tips and advice.

Realize that the power to be the best lies within each of you! We are only as good as the weakest member because in this sport EVERYONE has a very important job to do!

We have had a great start, let's have an outstanding finish!
