2006 ONTARIO NATIONAL QUALIFIER-DRUG TESTED EVENT


CONGRATULATIONS TEAMOBRIEN !!!!
This weekend TEAMOBRIEN competed at the 2006 Ontario National Qualifier-Drug Tested Event and walked away with some hardware....You ladies rocked!!!
The overall competition at this show was very impressive....the quality of athletes that hit the stage were the best that I have seen in quite some time. The venue was incredible as well....the stage was great, the warm up/pump up area were very spacious and had a ton of dumbells, barbells and mirrors, and the staff/crew were very helpful and and very friendly. The atmosphere and energy behind the scenes was a very positive one and I'm looking forward to the next event......
Dennis and I have coached many athletes over the years prepare for various events/competitions and we have created and built many friendships along the way...but, I would have to say that this year has been different than any of the others..... I don't know why and I can't seem to put my finger on it, but we have created a family type feeling within TEAMOBRIEN. We have all grown so close and shared all the ups and downs amongst eachother and have helped eachother pull through whatever it was we were going through....the team trains together, encourages one another, will help one another get through those tough early morning cardio sessions.......the support seems to be endless. Dennis and I truly feel blessed that we have all of you in our lives and we want to thank you all for being part of the TEAMOBRIEN family....(sounds kind of corny, but it's true!!)
