A Little Bit of Pixie Dust, and a Pair of Running Shoes
A little less than a month ago, a pair of Mickey Mouse ears and a tiara were packed into my suitcase. The reason? I was traveling to the Disney Half Marathon Princess Weekend to compete with 15 runners that I coach for a unique racing opportunity like none other. The race took place on February 22-24 […]
Experiencing the Runner’s High: Why We Run
People sometimes ask me why I run. Why I choose to do what others see as pointless, unncessary, painful, dissatisfying, tiresome, and difficult. Why I chose a sport that is, as runners often joke, the punishment of other sports. Running is simple; it’s just that. There isn’t much equipment, you don’t have to catch or […]

Robert’s 2013 Boxing Wish List
I was four years old when I witnessed my very first boxing match, which was the WBA and IBF heavyweight title bout between defending champion Evander Holyfield and challenger Bert Cooper on November 23, 1991. I remember that bout simply for the warrior mentality Holyfield displayed that night, retaining his titles via seventh-round technical knockout. Throughout […]
Peyton Manning: The Comeback Kid
If there’s one thing I’ve come to realize in my years of watching football, it’s that it’s a lot like life which is full of feelings and strategy. They both have us tackling our problems head-on while blocking out our fears in order to protect the dreams we cherish. With any chance we get, they […]
The Hearts of Giants: Reflections of a Championship Baseball Team
How do you explain coming back from series deficits twice? How do you explain winning your do-or-die game through a manufactured run and an error? How do you explain getting pummeled by a guy almost twice your size at second base, only to see the next five games through to become a championship MVP? How […]

It May Not Be Cooperstown But Dan Wilson Deserves This Hall Of Fame
On the outside, Dan Wilson’s career statistics do not appear Hall of Fame worthy. A batting average of .262. A total of 88 home runs and 519 runs batted in. Though his .995 career fielding percentage and many of his other fielding statistics are some of the best all-time for a catcher, it would take […]
Pitcher Perfect: Three Months of Magic on the Mound
In baseball, the number of runs is what determines the winners and the losers—at least according to the scoreboard. All the hits and trips to home plate are the results of power and strategy by the men in the batter’s box and the ones rounding the bases. However, it’s the men on the mound on […]
