Games are supposed to be fun and they are.
I have had a ball and a lot of laughs during most of my career putting deals together, traveling to far away cities, and meeting interesting people. There are so many stories to tell. It is a good thing that I like to write!
Here I let my hair down a bit and offer up some humorous non-fiction stories that all relate to my Olympic experiences. While reading them, you may learn something about selling sponsorships for the Olympics, you may be inspired by the power of the Rings, and hopefully you will get a bit of a chuckle out of them along the way.
