Well...the proof is in the context of what he is saying. Even if it wasn't, he has been giving great advice and insight about technique.

yes it is him, he has posted on other threads as well...he has offered some great advice, so take it all in the best you can. Hopefully he will continue posting and sharing his knowledge about our event. Thanks Tim.
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
