Ingredients of a Champion

I can’t sleep!  It’s August 15th and life is absolutely magnificent and extremely exciting.  It’s been a week since the opening ceremonies for the Olympics hosted in Beijing, China and what a treat it has been.  Last week on 8-8-08, we all had the opportunity to witness the most profound and most highly organized production in the history of the Games that inspired and transcended the imaginations of billions.

Throughout the week, my wife Tina, daughter Tawnie, dog Jake, and I have been glued to the TV watching Volleyball, Gymnastics, Swimming, Basketball, Soccer, and even Synchronized Diving!  We feel so blessed to be able to expose our five year old daughter to people that have trained all of their lives, have overcome obstacles, and with focus, determination, and a burning desire, play full out on a global platform.

As parents, we work so hard to protect our children from the troubles, uncertainty, and tragedies of the world that the media bombards us with on a daily basis.  However, it has been such a breath of fresh air to be able to fire up the blube tube and hear the stories of champions, watching them compete at the highest level for their countries, and exceed human expectations.

By fate, this morning I checked my daily success quote and Sugar Ray Robinson’s words jumped off my computer screen, “To be a champion, you have to believe in yourself when nobody else will.”

Alex and I are committed to be champions for you. We truly believe in ourselves and in our ability to deliver the most fun, effective, action-packed, and most result-delivering fitness programs on the planet.  We also believe in you and your desire to want to become more, do more, and have more when it comes to fitness and your well being.  This combination creates a breeding ground for success; when preparation meets opportunity.  We’re prepared to give you everything we’ve got, you just have to cease the opportunity and we’ve got a world-class, winning team.

See you in class!

In good health,

Terry
