I think this tournament was a really good example of how we should always think long term about improving our fencing and not just focus on a single result we want. I think I had some good opportunities today to work on practicing and developing the new skills I need against really good fencers, and although I still have a lot to work on, tournaments like this one will help me grow long term. Also, I definitely already feel some changes in my fencing that I’ve been working on for a long time finally coming into effect, and I can feel myself becoming more consistent and having more confidence in my actions each tournament.
