At the end of October 2009 I decided to compete again in the AASCA Australian Barista Championship I was helping out with the NSW Barista championship and I guess I got the bug again. I ran it by Jemima and The team at Belaroma and that was it no turning back. The biggest thing for me the whole time leading up to competing again was "what if I make a fool of myself and everyone says"; "he should have quit while he was ahead". I guess this fear drove me to work harder than I ever have before.
If I have any regrets from the AASCA Australian Barista Championship it is that after I won I did not think to thank this young man, Christian Genovese you are a legend, to think that you could have been out doing all manner of things that kids your age do but instead you worked your ass off as a volunteer for the Australian Coffee Championships.
