Personally, I feel like I'm ok, because there is no pain and I haven't injured myself practicing, but then, who's to say, I'm not pushing myself hard enough? Im not sure if you remember me Alan, but I'm the guy who competed in the logging games for several years and we have the same credo that you mentioned above particularly when it comes to buying the beer.

OK, honesty? I'm gonna man up and be totally honest with you.

Quit worrying about it, and go throw. If you want to throw, then throw.

You'll meet some locals at your first Games and you can probably arrange to practice with them. Until then, watch videos, read here and read NASGA and go throw.

Quit stressing over it. Nobody is getting rich, here. Nobody is getting famous here. We all fall on our butts sometimes, I just did a face plant in the 28 WFD at Ventura in October in front of a crowd. I lost my grip on a hammer at Ben Lomond and put it into the cage netting. I've watched Ryan Viera mess up his footing and take a roll in the grass in the HWFD. It happens to everyone. Don't let these things stop you from participating if you want to participate. We all start out "not so good" and we get better. You will, too.
