Hi Craig, you know me… Lisa P (ex chambo now living interstate). Just want to say I have “discovered” your blog and it is fantastic. When I read the words, I can actually hear your voice as if you are talking to me. Your statement about giving those who need it the most encouragement rings true. You were always on my side – the side of the “underdog” and you taught me so many lessons I still think about so many years later.

Oh, I know this story is old but I’ve only just read it… My kids are not sporty at all but swimming is the one thing they do OK at. Their school grades the swimmers before the carnival and my kids are always in a race halfway through the ‘field’. They always seem to win their race! I don’t know if the sports master/s organise this because they like my kids or whether it just happens. But for my seriously unsporty kids to win a race at the swimming carnival is just fantastic. They feel SO damn good about themselves…

Great story… thanks.

Cool, Craig, I didn’t know your story, just knew that you carried a lot of weight when you were younger. Great story – my hubby says he was similar in his teens and got interested in sport in his 20s. He’s half the man he was (sizewise) today.

Well, I have just come here from Dipping into the Blogpond. Wow! What a powerful story! Isn’t it interesting how it can often be the hard things about our pasts that make us into the people we are today. We need more people like you in the world.

The Douginator returns.

"Is that Doug I see in the distance? Slaughter the fattened cow and bring me that robe and ring."

Nice to hear from you.
I am speaking at a conference for health club owners and fitness industry leaders.. but I may be doing a few other talks at some gyms while I'm there. I'll keep you posted.

If I could organise it, I would gladly do a public workshop for any of my US/Canadian readers, but beyond this website I don't really have a profile in the States, so it's kinda hard to put together, especially from over here.
Most of what I do when come to the States is corporate gigs.

One day...

Cheers Big Man.

G'day Craig-

What a great post for this time of year! Well done, indeed. Can't add much to what's already been said except, unfortunately, I was on the "giving" end on many occasions. When I look back and realize how cruel my mates and I were to some of these kids, it truly makes me sad. If only we knew then what we know now, right?

Just wanted you to know that I haven't dropped off the face of the bloggosphere! Just not been able to read your posts in "real time" enough to make a timely comment.

P.S. Are you going to be in Colorado for business or pleasure? If you're going to be speaking or presenting, can you make the details available? Cheers.
