this was the next day.

i gotta take a break for a while. i just end up frustrated and devolving into bad practice. time to switch things up and come back to it when i have the goddamn mental discipline that i am apparently lacking to do something other than get worse.

thank you guys for all your help! this will be a great thread for me to revisit over the years thanks to y’all.

Villegas Wins First Career USBA National Championship

The US might get its ass kicked again, but at least I won't have to wonder about commitment.
