Olympic Winter Games Experience February 2010

-Focus Fitness was represented at the Olympics this past year as I had the opportunity to work at the ice hockey venue during the games in Vancouver. What a wonderful experience that was. I was assigned to athlete medical for the ice hockey venue which meant front row seats to alot of hockey games and practices. As an athletic therapist I was scheduled in to work with a doctor and a couple paramedics during games/practices; should anything go wrong we were responsible for ice extraction if necessary. Thankfully during my shifts there were no major injuries. The highlight of the games would have to be when Canada won the gold!! What an atmosphere in the city after that game! So proud to be Canadian. All in all it was a wonderful experience!

A Great Man

“It’s just doing what I can with the platform I’ve been given. Everybody can do something. Everybody has a platform regardless of who you are, your background or where you’re from. With that platform you have, you can do something to help those around you. I’m just doing what I can with the platform I have.”- Israel Idonije

The Big Ed

My interest in fitness and weightlifting started at a very young age thanks to my parents. They were always very active and both have lifted weights for as long as I can remember. They actually converted part of their house into a weight room and that's where my brother, myself, our friends and a lot of the neighborhood kids grew up training. Its my Dad's 54th birthday today and both him and my Mom are still very active and continue to be a positive influence in my life. So in celebration of my Dad's birthday the workout of the day is a super set that he would make me do years ago when I was a skinny little kid just cutting my teeth in the weight room.
