Motivation, Encouragement, Education and More

Not long ago my good friend John Naber sent me this book. I was very impressed with the quality and the insights each athlete had to offer humanity. John, being a high caliber human being and an Olympic champion, brought out points for us to follow in this daily journey called life. Please read this wonderful work. You'll be very glad you did..

Read One a Day for Inspiration and Focus

Twenty-seven short inspirational true stories by Olympic winners. Each writer has a point to make about setting a goal and achieving it. By reading these stories and thinking about them, you can be encouraged to set and meet your own goals, to focus your daily life to achieve.I read one a day, and take time to think about each one.

It's got something for everybody!

"Awaken the Olympian Within" is filled with different stories, each of which makes an inspiring point. You'll learn about what the athletes go through to succeed at the Olympic level, and you'll also hear what you can do to succeed in business, politics, home care, whatever! It's like eating a box of fudge.... there's so much rich material, you'll have to pace yourself over time. It takes a little longer, but it's worth it.You'll probably turn to the chapters from famous Olympians like Dan Jansen, Nadia Comaneci and Flo-Jo first, but there are also wonderful stories from athletes who did not win a medal, and still learned something worth passing along.Check it out and buy one for a friend because everyone you know knows someone who can benefit from the "good stuff" in these pages.
