Word of the Week:
Confidence
“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right.” – Henry Ford
Your brain loves to be right, and will do whatever it can to make what you believe a reality. This is called the self-fulfilling prophesy. That is why it is so important to watch what you say and think. Saying, “I’m bad at forms (or kicking, or rolls, or whatever),” makes it hard to give your best effort, which sabotages your practice. Instead, tell yourself that you can do it, you just have to practice. This lets your brain know that it is okay to give a full effort. You will be surprised at how quickly you improve once your brain stops getting in the way.

Demo Team Fundraiser Car Wash This Saturday from 10am-2pm! The Beyond Sports Demo team consistently works hard to create and perform fun and exciting demonstrations. They recently attended the Utah State Championships and took Gold against some very competitive teams. This is a link to the youtube video of their performance. They have now set their sights even higher and are preparing to attend the US Open Hanmadang in Colorado at the end of July. This is a very competitive tournament and they hope to challenge themselves and learn a lot. It is also a much more expensive tournament due to the travel expenses required. As such, they are working to raise money so that all of the members will be able to attend. They will be holding fundraisers this summer, including the car wash this Saturday from 11-3, where they will happily wash your car if you are able to stop by. We are really excited for them to take this step toward improving Taekwondo demonstration in Utah! Buy tickets from Demo Team members in advance, or come by during the 11-3 window. Thank you for your support!

Note on Close Dates:
Many families go out of town for Holidays & 3 day weekends, which means that if we had class, many students would end up being behind when they got back. To mitigate this problem, we generally follow Alpine School District’s (ASD) Calendar and are closed when students don’t have school. We have worked these breaks into our curriculum schedule, so that students who attend our scheduled classes regularly will cover everything they need in order to test. We publish our close dates for the year in our Yearly Calendar. Please refer to it and plan as many vacations as possible during close dates to help keep interruptions on your path to Black Belt to a minimum.
