Coaching more exhausting than competition!!

Going to give a new Font a try. I will be playing with alot of things on my Blog, trying to spice it up a bit. I would like to start off by telling everyone about my weekend. This weekend was fun, but very tiring. Went to bed at 10 on Friday, only to get up at 4:15 on Sat morning to start our drive to Houston, Tx. Turns out we didnt leave till 6a.m , and made it there by 10:30!! From 10:30 till about 7:30 at night we were coaching team members at Naga Houston. I took my gi...just in case :D. I asked them what time my divison would start and it was going to be at 6 or 7, but take into consideration that they were 2 hours behind as of 4 o'clock. Since my intentions had been to simple coach, I stuck with that, not wanting to inconvience those I rode down to Houston with. After the tournament we enjoyed some Outback!!!!! Yum! I couldn't gorge too much because we have Pan Ams coming up , followed by quite a few tournaments. I am hungry though, veryyyyy tournament hungry. This is two tournaments I have coached at but not competed. I think it is one of the hardest things to do. It is very tiring, you have to be careful not to yell the wrong way, or you go hoarse and no one can make out anything that you are saying. Lol. It is quite an art, and then when people don't listen to you and completly go against what you are trying to coach them through, it gets frustrating. We all have been there though, we all have to learn from our mistakes, it is how we grow. You may be on the mat by yourself but we you are part of a T.E.A.M (who gets this reference?). We got back about 12:45, woke up early for a healthy breakfast and some Open Mat where I became the nail and not the hammer. We all have our days :D I hate going more than a day without training, makes me feel like I missed a week :D That is why Friday should not exist. Ah well, I have to get back to doing work stuff, later I will show you guys my new mat area (GHETTO).

Chicago Open

I wanted to provide you guys with the links to coach's matches. Also I didnt really get a chance to mention her, but his daughter, Danielle Alvarez has been on fire for quite some time. She is going to make quite the mark on the Jiu Jitsu world, watch out for her. Everything I post up video wise of others will be public, if it is not posted on a public forum then it is not meant to be and I will not use my social media connections to obtain them otherwise. Sometimes people don't want their videos up :D

Here is the match against Renato Tavares(above)
