STL Bike Polo W.K.

Did you come for the sound?
Did you come from miles around?
Well, you’re here now

To move faster than time
And remove every doubt
That you are what this is about
When this was then

When I came by myself
I came for you

I came for you
Oh
You were there now

Expectations derailed
So take the frame off the nail
And see where the colors run pale?
Its outline shows

That all the essence remains
It has left many stains
On our walls, on our souls
On our brains
When then was now

And when I came by myself
I came for you

Put on the Foil!

Tomorrow, Lee begins his journey eastward towards the Big Apple and the first ever Bench Minor Tournament. STL Bike Polo W.K. wanted to send him off with a little pep talk. But honestly, I have no idea that to say. I don't think anyone knows what to expect at the Bench Minor. How do you pump someone up for something you don't understand?

I've watched hockey since childhood, and I spent many nights playing street hockey at the parking lot of my subdivision pool. Everything I've ever taken away from hockey and applied to my polo game, Lee understands and executes. Giving him advice is like preaching to the choir.

But I do think there are a few things I can share to help pump up Lee a bit before battling in New York:

The Style of No Style...

You should probably read-up on Bruce Lee. Now.

"practicality, flexibility, speed, and efficiency"



"Training is one of the most neglected phases of athletics. Too much time is given to the development of skill and too little to the development of the individual for participation."

"[POLO], ultimately is not a matter of petty techniques but of highly developed spirituality and physique.
"

"Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend..."

"Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it."
"Always be yourself, express yourself, and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it."

This is our copilot.



When we are flying down the rink, he is by our side. He guides us to glory...and to PARTIES.

He helps us execute perfectly placed shots and helps us party to our maximum potential.

Althotas



There's a little Althotas inside all of us. In the past, we've talked about "letting the bulldog out," but from this day onward, I'm letting my bulldog out and I'm releasing my inner Althotas.

I encourage everyone to do the same. I understand that some of you may not be willing to "go there" yet, but know that when you decided to embrace your inner evil, I will be here on the dark side...waiting (to split blood in your face).
