Here are a few things everyone should think about before you type in my opinion. I think a lot of the drama in this section and headaches for the mods can be avoided. I think this section has the best benefits for someone trying to move up in life but there are things you need to think about before you try.
1st: Learn to take criticism and expect it. It isn't disrespect or trying to make you feel bad. It is there to HELP YOU! Remember, this is online, just because you read something one way, doesn't mean the person wrote it like that. Take it with a grain of salt, put it in the back of your mind, and better yourself from it.
2nd: I just want to throw this out there so all the young guns out there who want sponsors so badly need to realize. THE GRASS ISN'T ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE. Sure you might get free stuff, but with that comes tying up your weekends that you could be fishing to work shows and do things for the company. So now for some of you guys that don't drive, now you need to get your parnets to get you to and from places. And what good are they getting from it?
3rd: Grammar- Think before you type and proof-read it. I have said it time and time again. What company is going to sponsor you if you appear to be, shall we say, not the brightest bulb on the tree, to be nice.
4th: For you young guys. How about instead of trying to get free "stuff", get a job or a way to make a little side cash. So then you can buy what you need, enter tournaments, and build up your resume. (This falls in the constructive criticism part. I'm not saying your lazy and need to get a job, but it will help you out in the long run)
Sorry
