Wow! That would take a superior athlete. <br> Eric decided to train Tricia.  I began the BFS Program and what a difference. I went from being ranked 10th to 4th in the world. And, of course, wit skeleton becoming an Olympic sport, many new people entered the arena of competition. With my BFS Training Program, I was absolutely able to tell the difference. For the first time, I was able to sustain my strengt during the season. I competed in Germany, Canada, Austria and Japan. I not only made positive changes in my training but Eric also helped me with my eating habits and rest. <br> It was important fo Tricia to compete internationally, said Snowden.  She earned World Cup points. Tricia has been to all bu one track now on the international circut. She will hit that remaining on this year. <br> This helps inthe development of new skills, said Tricia. I race better at Park City because I know the track. Also, the more World Cup points you earn, themore spots you get on the team. Also, Tricia needs to compete to help with her chance to make the U.S. team. And compete she does - Tricia is becoming an international sensation. She won the U.S. National Championship again in 2001 while setting the Park City lympic track record at 50.74 seconds. Tricia finished second at the World Cup event in LaPlange, France last December and third in Ingls, Austria. At the 2001 World Championships in Calgary, she repeated her third place finish from the previous year. All these competitions aulted Tricia to 4th in World Cup overall points for the 2001 season. <b>Tricia is leaving no stone unturned in her bid to make the Olympic team. And should she make it, she ll represent our nation with honor. She has gone to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Sprins and spent time with the team s sport psychologist, Kirsten Peterson.  She has good insight into my performance personality, said ricia.  We focused on where my challenges are in sport. She gave me concrete things to try in an effort to create an environment where I an be my best. <br>While in Colorado Springs, Tricia received active release therapy (ART) to hep a long-time hmstring injury. Dr. Leahy created this aproach to muscle healing which strips off scar tissue and allows the muscles and tendons to move.  Essentially he digs his thumbs into my hamstrings as deep and hardas he can. Ouch! The process only takes about fifteen minutes and it is working. Tricia is more flexible than ever and Coach Snowden is able to do more and more hamstring exercises in the gym. <br> I admire Eric more than anyone I know, offered Tricia.  He has inspired me more than anyone else. He is 100% dedicated to hi9WY$+s/6٢V[R'ë}=ǥkbjCDܲj*;՘  ̷-5bU]itC)ac'M_?b 4 PJNFu ) (LOFJ<(``@TFyzp228w>1_mA2iR%*w$ٹ?5_͇.5k=mm-SgTmZfu]4u%PֿԴu{[w=@.{vXV]
