This Gold is Special

You may not know who is in this picture. As you see it is a gymnast. But to me it is no ordinary gymnast. This young man is one of my clients Joshua Gray.

Joshua has just competed in  the special Olympics in Athens, representing Australia in Gymnastics and performed exceptionally well. Way beyond my expectations. Granted I only look after his physical conditioning and not his performance or routine, but Joshua did himself, his family, his country and the gymnastics clubs he trains for very proud.

A very hard-working and determined individual, Joshua through his determination and perseverance collected 6 gold medals and 1 bronze medal at the Athens Special Olympics.

Joshua had been training with me for 3 years, but it was only in the last 1-2 years tht we really started a gymnastics specific program which aided in his win at the Olympic qualifications in Adelaide last year and more recently Special Olympics just concluded in Athens.

My hat goes off to Joshua who has shown a strong mindset  and that every little bit counts no matter how small it may seem, you can keep chipping away at your goals, eventually you will achieve them.

I will keep you posted with more photos and information as it comes to my attention.

I will leave you with a quote which I feel sums up Joshua’s achievement.

“Those on top of the mountain didn’t fall there”

Well done Joshua, I am proud of you. You are an inspiration to us all.

SEIZE THE DAY!!
