From the Saddle

It's time you paid your dreams a little respect... One question I often get when people discover my occupation is who is the best athlete you work with? My answer is unvarying. All the athletes we coach are inspirational. No matter what level they are up to generating for themselves and their sport, they are all fun to coach and I learn from each and every one.

What is truly remarkable about being a coach is the honor and priveledge of being invited into the lives of our athletes. As a request for coaching, these athletes have taken a specific action consistent with their commitment to their sport, well-being,and health that has them seek out our listening, support and guidance.

Among the athletes I'm currently coaching are three cyclists vying to go professional. Succeeding to become a professional cyclist is against the odds. But fortunately, a game like that is not only about odds. It's about commitment and taking actions aligned with who you are, and what you are up to in the world. Anything is possible, and when we live into that way of being, what is possible becomes reality.

I invite you to check out the Blogs of Brian Friend, Justin Rose, and Chris Stuart. I also invite you to submit a blog of your own; your story is inspiration to others. Pay your dreams a little respect!

JDS Sportcoaching, LLC launched a cycling team last fall... color The cycling team has started its first campaign on the bike, and in our fundraising for MS research. The new kits are sharp, and early season races have seen strong performances by teammates Brian "The Hammer" Milnick, John Sterner "Wingman" and Brian "DreamWeaver" Friend.

On April 21, the team was out in force, racing in Golden, Colorado in the 35 Cat 4 and 35 Open Categories. Nate Miller took second in the Mens 35 Category 4 race and Scott Hackett took 16th in the Mens 35+.

On the fundraising side, our quest is underway to raise $110,000 in support of research and advocacy for MS. Individual team members have pledged to raise between $300 and $1000 for the Colorado MS 150 Bike Tour. Doug Ingalls and Tom Bruen have committed to raise $6000.00 each to make the trip to the Dolomites (Italy!) September 5-12.

We request your support...visit our team fundraising page and donate to our MS global Fund. And many thanks to those of you who came out to support us at our first seasonal Wine Tasting and Art Show fundraiser.


Up next? Certainly another fundraising event. And we're planning the launch of a running team as well...stay tuned! color
