In the year 2000, Tricia placed first in the U.S. Skeleton and was on the U.S. team. Tricia was on a roll as she participated in her first World Cup and earned a bronze medal.<br>Tricia began to think in higher terms.  I took a leave of absence from work, remembered Tricia. She never returned.  I felt I had a chance to achieve a medal in the 2002 Olympics. In May of 2000, I met Eric Snowden, a BFS Certified Coach and President of Pro-Elite Strength Systems. Eric asked a thought provoking question,  Tricia, how serious are you? <br>Tricia replied,  I m serious. I quit my job. 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, with 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 strength during the season. I competed in Germany, Canada, Austria and Japan. I not only made positive changes in my trainingbut Eric also helped me with my eating habits and rest. <br> It was important for Tricia to compete internationally said Snowden.  She earned World Cup points. Tricia has been to all but one track now on the international circuit. She will hit that remaining one this year. <br> This helps in the 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, the more spots you get on the team. Also, Trion the toes at the very end to complete a full extension. It would be like acalf raise but done in a coordinated, fluid motion like a formound Olympic bar except for the weight. They are designed specifically byBFS for training and learning. Even a smaller 7th grade boy or 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 vaulted Tricia to 4th in World Cup overall points forthe 2001 season. <br>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 gon to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and spent time with the team s sport psychologist, Kirsten Peterson.  She has good insight into my performance personality, said Tricia.  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 can be my best. <br>While in Colorado Springs, Tricia received active release therapy (ART) to help a long-time hamstring injury. Dr. Leahy created this approach 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 hard as 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 hi)c:Hm}eec澪8s3dmrOh7"- .I :5FL2X1h4`6w@;h`6wK.h4`6w(3h4`6w1h4`6w ;h4`6whH.h4`6(3h4`6w14`6w$>dP>| `8| E6w(h4`61h4`6w;h4`6wT.h4`6w(3h4`61hG7Ftԛ=d„ʠMR}=qayL DHi}|Lh!x kQ+q!y(pcs5VI<J4qǏ{t` }pZHp?W'Z x'W8W7G[Zk]mkkSA!hD.I.6iRԓɧt*rNPId XdIAW@:pduh~ -JUGTfYYr.Z]q![19FX-N T)p 0ʡaQoiY. |!)9YI#/o90iz]nmyRHy1(-QvUU87vlٱU+Y剑dHݑ$F) F?"g#R0FB[W 'xA~$&$ igqtdH"yZ5X"*9j~_OZ*o χ|XKcHOM,1]s%S3p[~ΉOᶛIjvvPYA(&x̅ۏҟ2G-s$bޗN9RHZMHc_\޽бRDўbR6Oni6W'PB IxLFx9n ˆkE4o0;8(TҮ*`u{n<g~| J y-Odd? |9R5Xym:Vby.mX3X`(=x?ozw ύȁۨ&[UxD7˟cs&xCO RGQњ>1O' ܿ+2ֲH'+\+#ӓ20OW`mNk),OIkEJ^yVOHiWT|ކC٘-rȩiqkʋ$e`-+H2i.XrG=ALLew?VM *)"E9|I7x D/黩cHaH VTj|O.x fȂYboJ״i~ϫ6FlV+M4A{NE|MWΗm=ݻ1K'`Qek-#DWΏBZsis2QUBwj?iX]ۭJNhH@da,mN0x7vyKnyKUhO=&K&F)#I&u* )"e.D+zL_B.lm~'ϒ/*ӚUXu{DYʱq!6n̓*pRtx?uHm$ki%_U$XHYDk*F?u c+M& cy9u=;_$ޟy0=;r Ո]Ea.+8%vN?Ue쬵[[nVx.o?yn-|r;ølMԚj:2.jbdwZ-ו4 S"oYčXfKI^\oI< nhdjk"yNig1*Iѳ,GsY=vKdS
