It's that time again. Time for the greatest stage of human performance. It's time for the Olympic games!
Going back through history we have seen the power of the Olympics bring together divided nations, settle international rivalries, release those individuals whose race had been suppressed, and brought families closer together through aesthetic athletic expression. We have all been touched by the feelings of Nationalism this world stage provides. Each one of us understands the power of both participating and winning at such a prestigious level. This summer, as we gather in front of our televisions or around our computers, we will surely see the pinnacle of a series of such great events.
The Olympic games have evolved from age to age. As we embark on this information age we are blessed to be able to follow our athletes on social stages such as Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr. I encourage all of you from every corner of the earth to research and learn about your athletes. Then, enjoy watching them lead your country. Stand beside them as they represent everything your country stands for. Celebrate together and enjoy the victories, accomplishments, laughter and the atmosphere that the Olympics provides. This summer as the world watches London, take time to relax and watch your country. Be inspired to participate further with your own physical activities by your athletes' performances.
