 Hi, I'm Sergeant Alyssa Lizenby with the 101st Pad, and today we're at the 2023 Delarami National Guard's Best Warrior Competition. Let's go, let's go for one! All in one day, these competitors will be going through an ACFT, a Ruckmarch, and they'll be completing their N4 qualification. I am Staff Sergeant Brittany Zaffron. I'm a 68 whiskey in the 126 ABH. I'm at the 2023 Best Warrior Competition, and I am coaching the EFC Valenti this year. So a coach or a sponsor is sometimes what it's called, is really there to just make sure the soldier has absolutely everything they need in order to compete. So it's not necessarily about there, you know, being out there with the soldier and doing the competition with them, but it's really being the support and kind of a sideline cheerleader for them to make sure that they have all the equipment they need, and they don't need to think about the small things, they just need to think about competing, and that's it. For me personally, as an NCO now, I feel like taking on a coaching role for me is exactly what I wanted to do. After competing myself and seeing what I had to offer, I definitely wanted to be able to pass that on to a younger soldier in a unit, so I'm happy to be here. Oh, it's a good feeling. It's nice to be able to come out and compete. Very competitive, so it's a fun event for me, as well as come out and represent the 153rd Military Police Company. Same for me. I'm a master fitness trainer for my unit, and I made sure that I wanted to show them my fitness that I'm gonna lead into our unit. Yeah, this is absolutely great. I feel like an opportunity like this for a young soldier who might be new to the unit to see something like this and be able to compete and show the state sergeant's major what they can do, I think is a phenomenal opportunity for a young soldier. That's where a competition each year is definitely something we wanna get more soldiers involved in. So if we can spread the word anyway, shape, or form to let soldiers know that this is something that's an opportunity, I think that that's something that should absolutely happen.
