I have a tendency to point out really important things that somehow end up as major game changers, but I guess out lack of confidence in my ideas or someway or another the idea never gets put forward and I end regretting it later on.

2013- My freshman year I drew a sketch of a robot that looked like an exact replica of 148's robot. When I got to the Dallas regional, I was amazed that they pulled off what I dissed as a crazy Idea.

2014- I was strategizing on the car ride to Dallas, I thought about skipping the high goal and racking up cycles by a 3 assist and low goal, but I later dissmissed the idea cause I once again convinced myself it wasn't a good idea.

2015- Right after kickoff I said the exact words, "Forget the Totes, get all the cans." Then after the discussion with my team we thought only certain teams would need it and it would too risky of a strategy.

So instead of being in and extended regret over I decided I would find a solution to the problem. So I have started carrying a notebook in my bag everywhere I go, so if I have an Idea about anything I jot it down and I can later revist the idea and think about it in depth about it.
