Hello my fellow Galbani Pro Team members,

I’ve done a ton of competing in the states, and internationally. More than a few times. After the first year, I started making a list of things to do, things to bring, and just some general notes to avoid silly mistakes. To the new people competing: huzzah! You’ve decided to toss your hat in the ring, and try competing. It’s a freaking ride, and the opportunity to meet new people, doing very similar things to what you’re doing, not to mention the actual competing that makes you a better pizza maker—it’s just a thrill. Pizza, and pizza competitions have done more for me, than anything else in my life. I have met lots of great people, numerous OK people, and a few jerks. What I’ve taken away from just watching and being present is far greater than the time and cost to get there.

Below is my list of sorts that I gave to Galbani to share with my fellow competing Teammates.

Go out and Slay.
