Guest Faculty Post by Doug VauseLike the rest of the world, watching the Olympic games in RIO captivated me. You can't help but be amazed by the effort, determination, and lifelong pursuit of the athletes who have worked so hard to perfect their talents, craft, and sport. I especially enjoy watching the segments that highlight an athlete and give you a glimpse into their lives and the stories behind "The Athlete." It always amazes me that the majority of athletes come from the simplest and humblest of circumstances, and how much work and dedication have gone into their life quest to be the best at their sport.For most, that quest began at a very young age, from then through to the present, they have had one focus, one purpose, to be the best.Another aspect of the Olympics that stands out for me and touches a very special place in my heart are the coaches, the men and women you always see standing in the background. These individuals represent, in most cases, a lifelong partnership in the athlete's pursuit to compete in the Olympics. They are not the ones you will see standing on the podium when a medal is won, nor the ones who receive the accolades and recognition, and they are not the ones who receive the endorsements or acknowledgment from the world for what has been accomplished.Yet none of the athletes would have made it without the coaches who have been by their side throughout their journey.The post Go for the Gold with Ride Alongs appeared first on Hunt Big Sales.
