Some of the weaker, timid, less intimidating tributes stand about the large gymnasium of the Training Center alone and shy. They gulp down their fears as they gaze upon the brawny and fierce looking careers and other tributes. These careers throw knives, launch spears and daggers, etc. but really what they should be doing is learning some survival; it couldn't hurt to know how to make a snare, maybe a tourniquet, learn how to take care of a wounded ally and such.

If you want to get a good score you'll have to be good. Better than good. You'll have to blow the minds of these Gamemakers; so maybe a little bit of combat couldn't hurt either.

It will take some time to master your skills; don't rush and don't take your time either. Play your cards right and you could be returning home a Victor.

Make a good impression and you could have Sponsors lining up behind you to throw their money at you and work on bringing you home.

Your fate lies in the Gamemaker's hands this time. Make them happy. Don't let them forget you. You want to make the best impression in their minds that you possibly can. Don't screw this up. Be smart, cunning, strong, tough, and best of all; be loved.

Sincerely

The President
