1431
This is not the end and in-fact the beginning.
Watching the final moments of the closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics reminded me of a time long ago now, the final moments of another Olympics that I watched in my youth. The joy, the celebration and the true spirit of the sport and the Olympics. It fueled my earliest goals in sport and in many ways gave me direction in life. Amongst the many lessons of sport is the role of preparation and to dedicate yourself to goals, to do, what you do, with all your might as a man of honor and integrity.
Hopefully through these Olympics and even through my coverage of sports that you rarely hear-of, you share my rather dated vision of the beauty of sport and the blessing to compete for your homeland. With that in mind, London awaits; July 27, 2012.
You have 1,431 days to prepare, to train hard, to sweat and toil and become the best you can be and just maybe, earn the right to represent your country is London.
London, are you ready?
