Heart of an Olympian

Posted by Becca Borawski : Wednesday, May 30, 2012

What does it mean to be an Olympian? It's something such a very few people on the planet will ever experience. It is something such a very few people are capable of, physically or mentally. As we near the summer Olympics in London, think what it means to be an Olympian. Think about why it is we are so fascinated with their stories, and what we find for ourselves in watching them, cheering for them, and crying with them.



If you'd like to know how Holley Mangold, member of the US Olympic weightlifting team, is preparing for the London Games, you can read her weekly Athlete Journal on BreakingMuscle.com.

My kids attend classes and love every minute. It is all play to them and at the same time they are getting healthy exercise and absorbing life skills and values like teamwork, etc. - Alex B.
