The Brampton Cup

    ENTRY 530| FEBRUARY 3 /2024

 THE BRAMPTON CUP

It is happening right now. The Brampton Cup is currently happening without me, and many others.

I don't like to keep dwelling on this but it does piss me right off. 

Those who have never been an athlete may not understand and those who are/were athletes do understand the frustration of this.  You work so hard and sacrifice so much for your sport to go out there and give it your all only to discover that you can't for some stupid reason. 

It has not stopped me. I am still training hard and I am going to get past this. All I can do is keep working and get even better for the next one.

Although I have yet to find out when is the next tournament, I am also hoping for a local show. 

It has now been over five years since I have been in the ring for competition...

...it's time.
