Advice:
The more you apply yourself and get your reps in and learn about the sport and it's rich history and standouts and practice and grind early on in your career, (developing your personal comfort zone and skill set) the more versatile and prepared you will be later on when you decide to pursue a tour schedule. The greatest goals reached are those of your very own. Work Hard, play harder.
Goals:
To remain competitive and amidst the sport, and to create a legacy of love and excitement for those that choose to pursue disc golf as a favorite recreation or career.
Additional Comments:
Without the genius and inspiration and love and care and kindness and guidance and support and trust and empowerment and friendships and products and endless inspiration of INNOVA Champion Discs and it's founders and employees from day one, my long list of disc golf dreams come true would simply not be possible. Thank you for everything and forever...! Here I stand, the luckiest person you will ever meet.
