It is admirable to have a destination and a journey which you've committed to. However, you know, that life never [...]
If you don't practice your skills, and you have just been relying on your strength ... Dave Castro made it VERY CRYSTAL CLEAR what he expects of all the people who are skilled and competent enough to even make it to Regionals.
