Goals Achieved.

well, guess what happened guys. yesterday, i became a member of the University of Missouri-Columbia's (Mizzou) track team. A goal and feat that i have been working my tail off to obtain. It's finally a wish/dream come true. To be on a D1 track team and help them become something great, while also, making something of myself. 

Although I am on the team, i am going to work my tail off like i'm not...because im not guaranteed a spot(since i am just on the fall training squad for now). I'm going to treat this like i did my senior year in the offseason. Putting in countless hours, day in, and day out. Not give in to the naysayers. Also, i wont set a limit to what i can do. i'll always go above and beyond what is set, to try and be the best.This is my chance, im just another mediocre athlete, and now i have to once again, transform myself into  a great performer and someone who is beneficial to the team. I still have tons to prove. To show the coaches and the other athletes around me and everyone else, that i deserve to be on the team and that i will achieve bigger and better things. I have goals already set for myself. One im trying to achieve right now, make it on the traveling squad. Basically get a top spot on the team and have the opportunity to travel to each meet and compete, compete against other schools who have top level athletes. 

I'm trying my best to not let all of this go to my head, can't afford it to. I have to stay humble and stay poised. It's time for me to go out and prove something to myself really, not to anyone else(even though i said i have tons to prove to the coaches). I have to prove to myself that whatever i put my mind to, i can achieve it and get great fortune out of it. So right now, going through my list of goals i have set. and making sure, by the end of my collegiate career, that each and every one of those goals are checked off. Wish me Luck, ill need all the love and support i can get. 

Ill try and keep you guys updated on what goes on and what not. I promise to do some great things on the track. 

Peace and Love

p.s. I honestly wouldn't have this opportunity if it wasn't for the time i spent during the offseason of my senior year in high school with my hurdle coach Tim and the hurdle crew, Cory, Darcie, Katie, Lauren, and Kaylee. They pushed me and supported me for two years and continue to do so. I'd like to give them a special thanks. Especially Cory, became a very good friend of mines and an excellent motivator. Thank you my man.
