PAGE 32 ROPERS SPORTS NEWS SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2023 Speed Williams... From Page 31 all day. His mindset was good and I’m proud of how he handled it. The next day he headed in the #12, #13 and #14 and managed to win 3rd in the #13 and split $16,000, making a little money for the week. One thing we do is when my kids are having a rough time, there’s a 15- or 20-minute window where there are no negative comments. This gives them time to think about what happened. It’s taught them to process it and move on. The worst thing I see is parents scolding, getting mad, and throwing fits when their child does poorly. As a competitor, the last thing I wanted was my partner to throw a fit when I didn’t do well. No one needs someone chewing on them. If kids want it bad enough, they will figure out how to get better or find something else to do. As parents you can’t make them want it. Now I spend 20 days a month teaching private lessons and I’m fortunate to stay booked. It’s a blessing to be able to teach my clients and my kids something I’ve spent a lifetime learning. I’ll let Hali tell the story of some of things I had her do while she was home for a week. I did to her what I used to do to myself by making practice much harder than the actual competition. By struggling in the practice pen, the competition is easier by comparison. I want to give a big thanks to my clients, friends, and sponsors that have helped me and my family on this journey. I’m really looking forward to seeing where it takes us in the next few years. 2. Saul Lopez and Saul Lopez, 14.53, $95. 3. Vincent Nino and Mitch Bourdet, 15.37, $60. 4.
