Thank You Bert Sorin!

I’m still “high” from the Arizona Higland Games this past weekend! What an event! Aside from the video clips I have seen online, this was the first experience I had of watching the Games and my good friend Bert Sorin compete. Talk about amazing athletes! The men and women competitors are not only extremely impressive, but bighearted and compassionate. Moreover, they were excited and encouraged my workout partner (Kari Parker) and I to begin training to compete ourselves!

I have met quite a few professional and amateur athletes, but the quality that keeps drawing me back to Highland Games individuals is their comradery and closeness. What an awesome group of people to be surrounded by, on and off of a competition field. Kari and I can’t wait to get started with training!

After such a fun weekend, it was time to get back to work. Bert was generous enough to check out our facitlity, Innovative Fitness Solutions (in Scottsdale, AZ), and even give Kari and I some coaching tips. I have signed up to compete this weekend at the Arizona’s Strongest Man competition, so it was awesome to have such an amazing athlete coach us. Thank you Bert!

Meeting great people, hanging out with friends, watching amazing athletes, and the beautiful weather of Arizona in the spring could not have made for a better weekend. Thank you to Bert Sorin, Kari Parker, the Arizona Highland Games, and the amazing athletes I met this weekend, I am truley inspired to keep reaching for my goals and setting new heights for myself!
