A Postive Look At A Negative Topic

I recieved comments on this blog today regarding  athletes and drug use.I thought I would comment here…… I will continue next time with the Elite Youth Athlete (part 3)

It can not be denied that some of the athletes you have mentioned above are guilty of cheating with the use of performance enhancing drugs. I too am applauded and saddened by this. But…I don’t believe every elite athlete has fallen to the allure of drugs.   Yes, Marion Jones was an amazing elite child athlete as many you have named. They didn’t start out using drugs. As adults they made choices and consequences follow choices ALWAYS. 

This site celebrates the youth track athlete that loves to run for running sake.  These youth athletes at an early age have already shown amazing skill and ambition that can only be cheered. I am not sure if you have ever been at a National Youth age group championship, it is a spectacular display of our brightest and most promising youth of track and field as well as many other sports over a week’s period of time.

These events represent the best of sports. There are many problems with sports today, but like all problems you take them on and begin to solve them. I hope that the problems of drugs in the U.S. will be dealt with and it will not out shine our American Olympic hopefuls. I have the privilege of treating some of these great hopeful and I can tell you they have sacrificed much to have the honor of representing America in China and we need to focus on the positive of the great sport of track and field for our upcoming youth, like my daughter 100M National AAU Champion(primary group) and her new friend found through competion Daesha  Rodgers 200M 400M ( new record holder) 800M (new record holder) Champion (primary group) and and Elite Athletes alike.    What do we have if we don’t offer our youth athletes  a brighter tomorrow and a little positiveness in the sea of negative stories of some athletes.
