Especially as instructors, our adventures fuel the fire in our students. Its hard to think of ego taking over our sport, in fact, since at some point on the water you are going to have to set ego aside or you'll just get punished. Nice post and keep up the great discussions!Susan Hollingsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369169376439028896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347463840298564760.post-53823646888065909412011-03-03T16:21:05.091-08:002011-03-03T16:21:05.091-08:00I hear you bro.

You have to believe your great to be great. Even more unfortunately some athletes don't know how to turn it off when off the "field". The nice thing about paddling is the money hasn't ruined it.....yet. Like pro surfing, which is filled with ego-pro-jerks - paddling will probably eventually have some to. The thing that makes me proud is it seems to be an extremely low percentage compared to any other sports. Right now paddlers need to be nice to recruit more folks to the sport. Surfing does not need new recruits therefore more jerks. And by the way I enjoy your posts!waterhound.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06482300385811826402noreply@blogger.com
