More about the weekend.

This first picture shows how I feel, but not the reality of how it was. And this has been my constant struggle over the years.

I've been playing the final in my head over and over, thinking about mistakes, or things I should have done better, but the reality is that there was a lot of progress.

I've always done terrible at the NoGi Europeans, and this time I beat many tough opponents, and lost by one advantage against a good opponent who fought hard not to give me anything.

And, as the other pictures show, we had a great time. The team did amazing, placing in the top 10 win ratio in a major tournament with hundreds of teams.

It makes me incredibly proud to see the team we've built from nothing was able to produce so many great competitors, but also great coaches. The team maintains the vibe and tenacity regardless of the coach on the corner.

So, even though that 🥈 stings, it was a great time, and I am grateful for everything we've experienced, and for the team we have.

Special congrats and tks to @curious.jj @emmamilia @c.h.a.o.t @psychoeducationcounselor @gracieacademyberlin @fenrizgym

Euros are on the corner and we'll be prepared! Let's go!
