I don't disagree with any of that. I didn't mean to cause offense and a defensive reaction, sorry about that. My post referred specifically to just this one statement by the other poster which made me chuckle:
"I can guarantee if you pick any junior and senior elite in the VISA Championships and compare the quality of the skills to any JO champion, there will be a markedly difference"
With a smiley face (and I thought a sense of humor but apparently that didn't come across in my post), I posted that she may need to eat those words this year. I am aware that any JO champions need to make some changes to go for elite, however the earlier statement is indeed false if any of this year's JO event or AA champions make it to VISAs. Just sayin.....and still sayin.....may need to eat those words this year. : )
PS the keep your words tender and sweet quote is one of my favorite and it comes in handy for me to remind myself of it, particularly in business when someone does something that ruffles my feathers. I'm a direct assertive person and my natural reaction in those situations is definitely not to keep it tender and sweet, so I have learned to try to remind myself. One of the things that comes with navigating the corporate world for "more than a few" years. I've also given that advice once or twice to my seven year old with regard to how she and her friends talk to each other and about other people. I do my best to teach my bright, outspoken little peanut to be humble and kind.
