Okay, This Pissed Me Off

It's a lot of work to be good at anything. When I came on to the staff, 2 years ago, we were an under .500 team in our division/Union (D1). Now, for 2 years running we haven't been beaten in our Union by any teams, and we've won almost every collegiate tournament we've entered.

It's not easy, and the pay isn't great, but it's total garbage when someone comes along and tries to belittle it....

That is because you havent played CAL! Go Bears!

just kidding. Congrats on what you have accomplished as a player and a coach. A lot of people misunderstand the "Club"systems.

CAL is national champions for like the last decade, for anyone who doesn't know.

Honestly, their system is far advanced beyond what I have. They have full time, year round staff and coaching, and give out Scholarships. Their team, to be honest, is Super-League level (they scrimmaged a super league team last year and won). No other collegiate team has got the comittment or resources to really give them a run for their money, I think.

But everything is relative, I think. A good University team (Otago University, for example) from New Zealand would likely blank them pretty easily.

I've heard it said that a good/decent D1 club side from New Zealand (East Coast Bays, for example) would beat the national super-league champs from here...but I don't think that's always true.

However, I believe a good D1 mens club would trash a final 4 level collegiate side, if both were at full strength.

Here's a good video of some collegiate ball:

I know a few guys that are like that, thing is they have calves that kill mine...mine get trashed twice a week and look like they belong to a 10 year old girl

I have been fortunate to meet a lot of people in our industry. From writers, to guru's, to IFBB pros in bbing, fitness & figure and so on and so on.
All of my experiences have been positive so far. I have made great friends and had great times.
Of course I could choose who I wanted to speak with and who I didn't. I was not under any obligation via a job or anything else to speak with people I did not want too.
I think it is like the cross section of regular society. You will always have your douchebags and cool people.
