Huge congratulations to Jace this weekend competing at the Edmonton International Judo Championship
🥈 Silver medal in his weight class
And the matches themselves told a great story of perseverance
Match 1
Jace set the tone early, winning by shido after relentlessly attacking and keeping the pressure on his opponent.
Match 2
A hard-fought match that went the full 3 minutes, ultimately decided by a waza-ari (half point). A strong technical battle against tough competition.
Match 3
This one showed Jace’s grit.
He was down on points after his opponent scored waza-ari and yuko, and during the exchange the opponent attempted a sacrifice-style move that left Jace shaken up.
But he stayed in the match.
Instead of backing off, Jace kept working.
He turned the position, secured a pin, and held it long enough to score an ippon, a full point that ends the match immediately.
An incredible comeback.
Moments like that don’t just come from talent, they come from preparation.
The strength work.
The conditioning.
The resilience built off the mat.
When matches get tough and fatigue sets in, the work done in the gym is what allows athletes to stay composed and keep fighting.
Proud to support Jace’s development and see that preparation translate into performance when it matters most.
Strong athletes aren’t built in the spotlight | they’re built in the work 🔨
