We are 30 days away and I am soooo excited about this month. It will be difficult to be sure, but this is a dream come true and I am looking forward to this final stretch toward the BIG DAY!!!  (To the left is a pic of the flyer I keep in front of me [...]

Full site coming soon…for now visit our current getup at QuestForTheUSOpen.blogspot.com

This week continues to take me deeper into my mental game. I have continued to peel away layers of distractions and things that demand my attention away from training for the U.S. Open. It is crucial that I be focused, now more than ever.
Later this week I will meet up with a new [...]

Sitting at breakfast yesterday a.m. (Friday) I realized something that made my whole day…I MISSED A REST DAY ON THURSDAY!
At first I was like, “Dang it! I missed a rest day again!” Then I was like, “YES! That means I get one today!”
Just in case you were wondering, I thoroughly enjoyed my [...]

To a break from training today to get some biz and some writing done…just finished some things up, and back to training. I think whoever issues a challenge (see my last two posts, including the raw video in the post from yesterday) should be out there DOING the challenge…and I told Holly myself! [...]

Here’s a vid in the middle of training for the U.S. Open, and more specifically doing the daily duties of my new training challenge set forth by Holly, my wife and all-consuming manager (see yesterday’s post). It’s pretty raw as we captured it on a cell phone on the fly, and I was already [...]

I received a new challenge from Holly (my wife and now, Manager) tonight during our weekly Monday-night Date Night…
All I can say for now is 10,000 each…!!!

Can I deliver? That is the real question. This is about as daunting as [...]

Hello everyone…
I’ve got some re-arranging to do over the next couple of days with this site, so I might not post much in the next couple of days. Don’t worry though, I am still working hard toward the U.S. Open. I’ve had a couple of real good days of training, and have begun [...]

Went a couple of rounds tonight with Michael doing some 3/4 speed/power sparring and self-defense along with some jump-roping and a walk-through of a kata I haven’t done in a long time. Just had to get some extra energy burned off before bed. I wanted to go to bed earlier tonight, but knew I would [...]
