Marty,

I was at NCA Dallas also shooting for my gym. I didn't get to see these teams but have in the past and I love every minute of watching them. They are so inspiring to me and I love to sit there with my child and watch.

A blessing? Yes and also an inspiration. It makes me think of the question, "what's your excuse?" (The point being that there isn't a good one.)

Thanks for sharing these photos.
