What is the Measure of a Man?

Brandon Eddy (Beddy)

This is Beddy.

After the team found out about my blog, this guy pulled me aside today and told me he wanted to be the first one I write a post about. Here it is bud.

This is nothing new for Beddy. Aside from the occasional fishing trip to Coe Lake or a pinch of Red Man to clear his mind, this kid is all about the Decathlon and loves being in the spotlight. I was talking to him today about his trip to Iowa in March for the Indoor National Meet, which I plan to attend to cheer him on to that number 1 spot, and he was asking me what we should do after he wins.

 A line of ridiculous questions ensued... (Anyone that has talked to Beddy knows that he won't stop once he gets going)

I entered a conversation that Beddy was having with Coach Schmuhl today. Coach told Beddy, "You have no idea the things that you will be feeling and it is nothing that you can prepare for; that is where you will truly find out what you are made of". Beddy's reply, of course, consisted of things like, "But I live for this, Coach" and "I don't have to think about my competition because they are gonna be thinking about me" and so on.

Beddy may come off as an arrogant and overconfident jackass sometimes, but this kid's mind and heart are in the right place. His focus is on getting better every day and doing whatever he can to make sure that his team succeeds.

Just watch the kid vault and you will know he's not just the Indoor Record holder at B-W for nothing.

Check out the article for yourself, this kid does work..
