I loved it more than skiing. <br>In February of 1999, Tricia placed 2nd in the nation.  Then, I m like  wow . I began to lift and sprint but I was still working full time. It was at that point the stunning news came to Tricia: Skeleton was going to be an Olympic sport. Now, she became really serious. 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 training but 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, 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 Olympic 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 vaulted Tricia to 4th in World Cup overall points for the 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 natio0p ȅp+kyիBc;3keQXYObERU P)ٹRbXjZoQH?dХ7dW ?ۑ_wWRGN423y}+|˥#AJӓ>Dn'PJ,x6<9Ҥw9oKW?1}Fl!%$Si(: |0Z̥2vFMUG&K;".HTOsO/ჴqCҠ4*z6(~O\M8kFdkrA"1;s7"יmc]?Iɍw+z%9u>渦G_ 4QG#G,(A N,9ޤؓ<-_c,+QJT|kfmk4 vE?,P:|$l!(T{T?yƘͩM}rW'1:^)m?(vlOJ<8M~QԮ$s0@JrB}f92O,I.k&|44aK- 4VKƲ؆a_&F$^3ֵk:_ˎ)a^b?XI3!B`PxoӈKgd07nGN=9猏tM!JQŇ4g7!O+m'Ijk۸@шL )Z-8`?^ O*GI'JYpEUqxV9-?'i,>>RNc ^T?oXv6P UY!sc>/%sr=r2.| ]+q?lն Rca/"5{Dś#k@z;!Ii{1QԫZT?A9iJ D6L83r><ӣ5]Jsݠ?^cyGKC[爻.i'ظD|.0!Ѕ۽XZsPvUc k$O>]q-O\K=Cyǿs xg͚1v-Ooc-E8fl˵q1sf9_5b#8=¯3͒L%KDw4;:ڿ-doikl cyKWvsf/AmۥsVj 8l2SրUG̝R6)o3X>NWt \kz?u.pYݡ7=S}*U8&le_ LyRFկ¤};l_ )5s/g&?q+'za|~Zu |]?1w|=|/fZi5o?C4 ͙1zk|8K+H+N6 5u,6 ͂q7}aXks1k>ٖ1n͖O:`:>d]렡0F6UM0vߋEiRlY+z겴C W.VFI;o{ ݐ]9tTnؓCJvÛj  Click Here to Download BFS Magazine & Archives
