Well it is a new year and like everyone I am making some new goals and strengthening my resolve to follow through on other goals that I haven’t quite accomplished yet. My main goal is to win an Olympic gold medal. I know that it is a lofty goal, but I am doing all I can to be properly prepared to achieve my goal. I really am excited about this year and all of the possibilities that out there. My family is doing well and I am healthy so I feel like I am already off to a great start. I am very blessed to be doing what I love and being able to meet and associate with so many interesting and wonderful people. Even at this stage in the game, I am still learning more about wrestling and about myself and what I need to do to be my very best.
This holiday season has been a lot of fun, a lot of work, and I am looking forward to getting back to Colorado to get back in my regular routine, with the exception of implementing my strategies to accomplish my goals. I have been on the road these last three weeks, and I am definitely looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. I was in Reno coaching, in Alamosa spending Christmas with my in-laws, and I was in Utah spending the new year with my family. Tomorrow we have a long drive back home. Hopefully I will get to see some more animals on the way back home. On the way out here I saw some huge bucks with huge sets of antlers. I was hoping to be able to see a bighorn sheep or a mountain goat, but didn’t see any at all. Hopefully I will have some more luck on the way home.
This last year was a great one. THanks for all of your help and support and for following my career. I wish you well on this year 2008.
