World Team Trials

Hello,
I’m just giving you all an update on how I did at the World Team Trials. The bracket wasn’t as competitive as usual with some good guys missing the tournament. I felt great going into the tournament and was very positive. I finished off with a second place finish in the mini tournament and later won a true third match to seal the deal for national team. I know this is a big accomplishment considering I only been on the mat for 4 months after a full year off and a serious surgery. Me being my biggest critic could only see how many mistakes and things I could have done better to be excited about taking third. I am really looking forward to the up and coming season to be able to start from scratch and build through out the year. I would like to thank the guys from the OEC for having me back up there before trials to train. It really was super beneficial to me and I am going to try and implement a lot more visits to the OEC in my training. I also would like to thank all my coaches, family and friends who have supported me through this rough year. Congratulations to the ones who made the World Team, wishing you the best of luck! My plan for the summer is to train and hit the weights as much as possible. Thanks for reading. willie
