Last Note: Going forward there will be obstacles as we make changes to our competition and practice structure. I am sure we will find that a gradual approach is much better than a hurried one. We must support our committees, coaches and meet coordinators throughout these changes. The easy road would be to follow a traditional format in which we ensure a smoothly run practice and/or competition but we would not be properly preparing the athlete for the changes ahead to the Regional and National Formats. In the end let’s aid each other throughout the process, make a note of what we can do better, and keep focused on the road ahead. “To Avoid Criticism , do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.” Elbert Hubbard
