Excuses Lead to Nothingness!

Team Stand Up Paddle Boarding at the Jordanelle                           

As summer began so did dryland.  It was time to push my limits off snow.  I started the year off with physical testing.  Results showed different areas to focus on.  It has been really important that I  separate my mind and ability.  Dryland began with only our core 99's family.  Having the best competition with me and around me all the time has been an encouragement.  Being able to have the same common goal within your team creates a competitive environment. This year the standards have risen, it's the last year as a U16.

The Park City Ski Team conditioning has been a place of pushing limits, not only physical but mental.  I would much rather be spending time on SNOW, but the gym, field, and aerobic days are worth it.  The biggest challenge has been getting past my thoughts, and what I think is enough.  I need to be pushing myself to the LIMIT.  This all began when mountain biking was forced upon me. Learning has been an experience that has changed my perspective of limits. Just because you don't want to do it However, going through different stages of training helps build a base to build on.  Previously, I haven't taken dryland seriously.

As dryland is continuing, I have been able to avoid all the excuses and push through.  Nothing has been easy.  Its been a long journey getting through one challenge after another.  Injuries have been one big set back in my skiing and training.  We have all been faced by different challenges, and every one has brought me back stronger.  Now, injury free, I have been able to start figuring everything out. The stars are the limit, and figuring out yourself allows expansion in limits.  Every challenge that I have had placed upon me has given me a new perspective going into the last few months before SKIING!  I'm really looking forward to our team bonding trips in October. It's time to be stronger than ever before.
