And that's it really.

It's kinda weird feeling. I set winning nationals as a goal, and now that I got that I feel a little bit empty somehow. Strangely i think because not sure what's next. The Pan Am games I guess and time to think about bigger things, tours and such. The Olympics would be crazy hard to do, in that i'll only be 17 by then. But I am going to try.

As an aside I found out I get a cheque in a week or 2 for a min. 8 or as high 10 thousand from the government for winning gold. wtf? really? Sweet! I seriously had no idea but I guess they started rewarding gold medals at national level in our sports program to encourage people to strive for it. So that's a nice surprise. :)

Anyway, thought I'd share with you guys, cuz this is my home boxing website and I worked hard to get here and overall, it feels pretty damn good.

Congrats. Best luck in the future. And thanks for sharing pics.:)

Congrats YB.

So you won? Well done young man. :)

Friggin Great for the national championship!!! How did it ended? K.O? Unanimous Decision? BEside, for the check, good to see that now they are trying to give a bit of support to our athletes for performing.

Superb stuff, I feel really happy for you. And good luck in whatever you do next, we will all be here to cheer you on. ;)

Was your opponent aware that you were a 30 something old man?

Congrats mate, that's superb!!

Keep riding that wave of success! Congrats

Great stuff!

Well done mate :cool:

Brilliant stuff well done Kid.

Good for you mate !! Keep shooting high , no reason you can't do whatever you set your mind to now. Real happy for you.

Well done for living the dream that I wish I could have had.
