Let it rip all started in 2022 when I got back from a horrible round at a local tournament and completely broke down. It was my worst round since I first started playing and I felt like all of the work I was putting in was for nothing. I cried, I sat there and cried. This means so much to me, disc golf means so much to me, and being great holds a high value in my mind.
My fiancé at the time, now wife, helped me through that moment by just reminding me that I am a great player. She reminded me that dwelling on what has happened isn’t going to help your round the next day. She said, you have to go out there and let it rip. So ever since that tournament, I try to approach each round with the idea of let it rip. Don’t play scared, don’t play afraid to make the mistake. Play to win, but enjoy the game. Let it rip means trust who you are, trust your practice, trust your mechanics, trust yourself.
And so I want this new journey, this blog/company/education, to be done with that same idea. To be perfectly honest, I haven’t let it rip here yet. I’ve been afraid to make content, I’ve been worried about it being perfect, or stupid, or failing at my attempt to become a high level professional disc golfer. Even there, I’m too afraid to say it because of what other people might think or the idea of failure. But writing it, here and now, helps me put it all into action. To do it, to take action, to let it rip.
So between the articles I hope to write and the documentation of my journey, I hope to be able to clue you all in on more of my journey and process. For now, I’ll leave you with my mindset at the end of each day, “how can I can get better tomorrow.” Thanks for reading, let it rip.
