PROUD.
Iāve sat down to post several times, but the task has proved daunting. Itās impossible to encapsulate the thoughts & feelings of what was accomplished just one weekend ago in Bayfront Park.
But the first word of this post seems most fitting, to describe the last 11 months of hard work by an incredibly selfless group of individuals united around a common goal: to elevate the community.
These folks came from far & wide, worked tirelessly as experts of their craft, believed in our vision, & collectively brought it to life. Iām honored to work alongside them, & feel incredibly PROUD to recognize their efforts. While the top athletes take home the medals, these individuals are the true championsā¦ for without them, there would be no competition, there would be no spectacle, there would be no WZA.
@sashprez - the media mastermind, & so very protective of the brand sheās helped cultivate. You wonāt find a harder worker.
@chrissy.uva - this yearās MVPā¦ juggling a million production related things, always with a smile. A true Wonder Woman, & helped keep the energy positive at all times!
@staceykonst11 - the WZA teamās longest running member & a personal friend of mine for years. The staff and volunteers keep coming back because of YOU &
@all4bri !
@a.a.andrsn ,
@lexdegurian ,
@trinapriede - keeping our partner and exhibitors happy, & helping wherever it was needed!
@joakowako @coach_kevin_agbulos @andret77 @danalynneblack - the balance of the 4 of you have brought the WZA comp and athlete experience to new heights. WZA is lucky to have you!
@jpruiz219 - the design visionary, always staying up to get the job done.
And of course I canāt forget
@anabananamaria ,
@cf_medic_hix ,
@tozzo_shae @engagelivellc and many more not pictured for their contributions.
The individuals listed above, combined with the trust from
@nelson_albareda ,
@marco.sagrera , &
@loudlive , & our great partner and the leadership of
@tyrsport , are what makes the magic of this festival happen.
With year 11 in the books, our minds shift to the next. How can we possibly top it? With this team, anything is possible.
