                                                                                               sending a clear message to our athletes that we will provide them with
                                                                                               the best possible coaching talent.

                                                                                               experience as their competitors.

                                                                                               Third, we now have the funds to provide better and more consistent

                                                                                               We are now at a point in our preparation that every dollar has a

        our medal count at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro:
                                                                                               Thank you for supporting our U.S. National Teams.
              In 2013 we corralled the country’s best
              athletes and hired a new coaching staff;                                         Best,
                                                                                               Curtis
              In 2014 we developed our athletes and
              proved in Amsterdam the success of our
              staff and strategies;

              In 2015 we demonstrated an extended
              dominance of our women’s team and even
              though we had some disappointing results
              with our men’s team, we remain confident
              in our athletes, coaches, strategies and
              their potential to produce high competitive
              results;

              In 2016 we are honing our skills and speed
              confident of our ability to win against the
              best in the world at the Olympic Games
              in Rio.
