My boss is gracious enough to give me a week off to work this tournament.

It's really tough. I just feel like if I can win this bracket this week, I can win any tournament I enter. There are so many good wrestlers.

I've just got to draw from this and try to play this well when I'm playing tournament after tournament, week after week out on the tour by myself.

We also played in a round-robin tournament, so both squads had an enjoyable week.

He is just so gracious.

We peaked early and now we've hit a slump. I'm hoping to use this tournament to work through some things and try and find a little chemistry again. I've seen tournaments in the past that brought a re-emergence to teams and they go on and do great things.
