Sun Dec 17 13:11:51 AKST 2017

Well said Mark and you are “right on”….regardless, bravo to you and the team for the extraordinary efforts to represent the USA and our sport.  I’m happy as are so many of us to contribute in many ways to help this great effort on behalf of the NSRCA…… Jay

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Team Success

I need to jump in here and say something about the success Team USA has had over the past decade.   I appreciate all the accolades and praise, and it’s nice to be recognized for the effort that’s put in.  So thank you.   But the success that the team has is a very big picture, and actually includes all of you.  And I don’t just mean as financial supporters.  Hear me out. 

First off, the true success obviously goes to our pilots.  Watching them fly in the conditions we had, under the heavy pressure of World Championship Finals… well you know what i’m talking about. They’re phenomenal.

But a BIG part of the credit, for their ability, AND their participation at all, goes to all of us.  We complain a lot about judging, bias, halo, blah blah blah.  But you have no idea what that’s like on the world stage, and from other countries.  I won’t name names, but some of the very top flyers didn’t even get ON their world team for years due to legacy pilots holding those spots.    

We may have small issues in this regard, but in the end, our best pilots EARN their way onto the team.  If Andrew or Jason don’t put up the flights, they don’t make the team.  Period.  We also spend time collectively learning what to judge and how to judge it.  As a result, we not only send our best, but our best are VERY well prepared.    

And lastly, the level of overall competition in the US is very very high, which means our best, ARE the best.

Then throw in all the support everyone gives, financial, logistical, emotional… and we’re damn near unstoppable.   So again, thank you, but kudos to US Pattern and everyone who’s involved.

 Marks never lost a WC as Team USA manager. 

 Of course, his team has been way over the salary cap for all those years but nevertheless. 4 for 4 is impressive!!!!!!

 He's also very good at raising funds. Just ask my wife who does our books.

 Thanks, Mark, job well-done sir.
