Last year the coach encouraged me to purchase this jacket for him - in case someone else couldn't make it to the competition weekend and he got called to race, and also because it would provide him with more incentive to work hard and qualify this year. That's what happened. He didn't get called up, but he absolutely refused to wear it until he actually made the team! So, for the last year he has been looking at it hanging in his closet as he steadily increased his fitness, strength, and racing speed. He kept mentioning to me that someday he would be able to wear that jacket. Today, he was so excited and proud to put it on!
