I have not won very many things in my life. I never won at the science fair in grade school, I didn’t ever get a gold on the Canada Fitness test. I did win High Jump in grade 8 for our school, but that leads into a whole different story.
Recently I have won two completely different types of awards. A few years ago our Karate Club held a Tournament where I ended up winning a 1st place for Kata and a 3rd place for weapons forms. I was very proud are I believe rightfully so. I put in a lot of effort practiced a lot and on the day I pulled off couple of really good forms. I think that is one of the highlights of my martial arts career so far, it was a really great day of competition and the fact that I won something is truly something to be proud of.
Over the weekend I got a different type of award. Each year our hockey league has a banquet and gives out a couple of league wide awards and then individual team awards for the most improved player. Typically this has been for the increase of the level of play on the ice, a progression in skill. This year my team mates voted the most improved player to be me! I am proud, but I am also amazingly humbled. It’s a completely different feeling to be given an award based on the votes of your peers.
I really am thankful for the award and proud that my fellow teammates deemed me worthy of it.
Thanks Guys!
