Competing in Europe!

Codgie — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 03:22:57 +0000

Competing in Europe has always been the goal for most elite athletes traveling from the USA, but the planning, travel and event schedule can be a challenge for the agent/manager. The behind the scenes work to get everything together takes some doing and this work is sometimes under appreciated by the athletes themselves.

Getting the confirmation in ample enough time to get an affordable plane ticket, set up the flight plan, arrange airport or train depot pickup, hotel and meals, inter-meet transportation and then onto the next competition can be a series of 24 hour stints before it is all arranged with 4-6 meets arranged and coordinated for the athletes’ well being and comfort. Multiply this by 10 or even 20 athletes and the work is a real juggling act.

The next time you watch a meet on television or if you are one of the elite athletes in question, bear this in mind as you line up for your event, well rested and ready to compete!

A Lightning Bolt struck twice in the same place!

Codgie — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:43:14 +0000

Usain Bolt of Jamaica struck twice in Beijing, China, surpassing the prior world records in both the 100m and 200m races. Even though the great Michael Phelps had won eight medals in swimming at the pool, the sheer physical grace, speed and power was masked by the water. Not so at the track. Bolt’s powerful but lithe physique was displayed for all to see, 91,000 at the Bird’s Nest Stadium and billions around the world. Even a four year old could imagine being that fast because running is something we do soon after we learn to walk. Bolt’s times were faster than anyone has ever run before and at age 22, he is young enough to run even faster. The world waits with bated breath for what he will run next. Stay tuned!

Shortcuts

Codgie — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 05:11:49 +0000

Most of us have heard that the “shortest distance between two points is a straight line” and have applied this principle in the classroom and as athletes, on the track and field as well. Encouraging words like “Champions are made at practice” would ring in our ears as we strove to become better at the task before us. Now, as the Olympics get underway in Beijing, China, the current climate is filled with negative words like ”drug-cheat” and “performance enhanced” as many athletes pursue their dreams of being an Olympic Champion or the best in the world and may be faced with the decision to take the shortest (and possibly quickest) route to stardom. However, many thousands of today’s athletes have found that the best shortcut to stardom is just plain old………. hard work.
