10/16/15 USAPL Raw Nationals Results (2nd Place 66kg Teen16-17)

The morning before my meet was hectic. I had to pack, had Senior Convocation in the morning. Then a quick lunch with my Mom before meeting my best friend Will for the 6-hour car ride to Scranton, PA.

The night before we had dinner in the hotel and tried to relax. It wasn’t easy.
My Dad created these awesome shirts which myself, my Mom, and Will wore to the meet. My brother and sister in VA wore theirs to school. My family’s support is one of the reasons I have gotten this far. It was cool to hand out shirts to lifters and sponsors I admire. The rest I will give to family and friends who would like to support my journey.
I’m proud of my 2nd Place win but not satisfied with my results. I’ll post the pictures and videos and share my thoughts.  All I can do now is fix my mistakes, make some gains, and train hard for my next meet in December. Get ready Boston!!

I guess everyone has bad days and the day of the meet was mine. I didn’t hit the numbers I wanted, I could blame it on plenty of things but I won’t do that. There’s a big difference between a gym PR and hitting the number in a meet because its all about how you feel physically and mentally on the day of. Over the next few weeks I will be working with Tyler ( my coach ) to figure what went wrong.But anyways here is my lifts at Raw Nationals.
