Most people don’t just decide to be Olympians. Most of have trained a large portion of their lives for their chosen sport. But sometimes, while watching the Olympics, someone gets the bug. Matt Deminico is one of those people. After watching the Turin Olympics, he has decided to take up short track skating, with the goal of competing in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. You can read all about his progress on his blog. Good luck, Matt, and keep us posted!

I was pleasantly surprised when I did a search for my name and it came back with this blog, it’s good to know that someone else out there has seen it. I really started it just to log what I’ve been through, but maybe it encourages others to do their best to become their best.
