My first official race:
1st round was orientation
2nd round was qualification
During the orientation, I wasn’t focused. I worried on the fact that I was WAAAAY out of my league. (Out of focus, I crashed on every single corner)
Once at the bottom, my body just dropped. Felt like I just ran a marathon. The thing was … I still had one more run to get through. Traumatized by the last round, I did not want to go!
However, I knew that if it was “fear” that stops me, then I will never grow as a skater and more importantly, as a person. So I grabbed my board and went back up for the qualifying round.
3 … 2 . (time freezes and I tell myself to not worry about anyone else but me. Remember the fundamentals Mike, just do you) .. 1 GO !
As we made our initial push, I felt different. Wasn’t scared and was ready to give my best. I didn’t qualify, , but that was by far my best run. I’m not one of the best … yet, but I’m stronger and faster than I was before and that’s what matters.
To whoever reads my little post, I hope you find the courage to chase your dreams! Life’s short… so stop worrying about other people and SEND IT!
Kind of late, but I’m chasing mine and gosh darn it, do I love
