FOUR TIMES FINALIST (nationals & worlds) – or MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL on LOWEST USAGE. Our 2020 diving season is now concluded and we managed to qualify for four finals in THREE DIFFERENT disciplines. Me, being the AGENT of an ATHLETE selecting venues carefully and getting all done with the smallest possible exposure to risk of injuries or sacrificing the fun of performing – after all dock diving is a high impact sport recreating the maximum dynamics of natural given survival or herding instincts and the related trained patterns over and over again. One thing i learned early on is the fact that every animal only has ever so many jumps, runs, extensions, only so many replications of natural given skill in its body to call upon. As better things go as more you MUST LEARN to PRESERVE. By looking at the invites chart one can see that the number of outings is rather right on target than way above requirement and that the full scale of qualifying options had been used.As more willing, talented and a worker you have as a partner as more you become the Intelligence of the Action. You have to have a PLAN for your partner.Don’t ever forget that it is YOU, that signs up for shows, YOU, that likes prizes, ribbons and the thrill of winning. Your animal truly just loves being with you and enjoys the fun that you create going to these outings simply reaffirming the natural bond (if you than have one) Still, as of today no matter where we go, Bernhardt will run and pull to the dock, hustle up the the ramp and gets excited to PLAY. And that is what showing must be – just a different place to have fun together. Winning is a logical result of great planning and strategy in favor of the animals well being. You keep that in mind and you can even find joy in a small loss – that was just another big win on the route to greatness !
