Thought of the day:

<Embrace the Grind: Growth Mindset + SUF(Support) + Adversity = Excellence on the Water>

When I began tournament fishing in 2022, I was overwhelmed with information. That's when joining SUF changed everything. BLat's KISS (Keep It Simple, Silly or Stupid) approach helped me cut through the clutter, build confidence in my abilities, and learn my confidence baits.

It reinforced that Adversity isn't our enemy - it's our teacher. When you shift from trying to beat others to being 1% better than yesterday, the pressure transforms into fuel for growth. SUF gave me the support system and framework to embrace this mindset in my tournament fishing.

Remember:

</Growth Mindset + SUF Support + Adversity = Excellence on the Water & Life>

Hi Everyone I am Tom a new member to SUF. Today I had the opportunity to attend my first live (lunch n' learn) and it reassured me that my decision to become a member was the right choice. I've had the opportunity to view some of the past pod cast, quick tips and live sessions and I am excited about the information that is being shared. YES I would like to be considered for a boater position in the angler development program. I like to tell everyone that I am in the end of 3rd year of my 5 year apprenticeship for my new career. its something I want to do for the rest of my life.  I think this opportunity will be the valuable scaffolding that i will need to succeed and develop. A road map/guide to help me focus in the right direction. a mentorship.  and maybe explain why not once but twice my CO put 13-15lbs in the boat behind me while i struggled to put 10lbs in the boat. I'm excited to get this season started as soon as the water softens some here on the north coast/ Lake Erie (North East Ohio) and to answer your question B-Lat "what do we do for 4 months of not fishing?" we replace split rings/ hooks on our baits. 😁
