The months are flying past, and I have yet to instigate the many programs that I wrote on my New Year’s Resolution list. One of the many resolutions involved representing Australia at the Winter Olympics. For those clients who watched the Olympics in the last month – they would have noticed that my name was not amongst the competitors from Australia.

Now I would like to explain what had happened and I apologise for their disappointment, and I promise to try harder for the next Olympic Games that occurs in 2 years’ time (the summer Olympics).

The first problem with my “trying out” for the winter Olympics was that I have never skied or done any sport associated with snow or ice. I spent my childhood in Mt Isa and as much as it will shock the reader – there was never any snow or ice in Mt Isa to learn to ski or to skate.

The second problem was my lack of talent when it comes to standing on thin boards or flat surfaces travelling at high speeds. I once tried water skiing but spent all my time watching the fish and the seaweed as I was dragged behind some speeding boat. In fact, I was so good at water skiing that I earned the nick name of “nose plant”.

The third problem was my lack of fitness. I underwent an intense fitness program starting at the beginning of the year but there was a few “hiccups” on the journey to greatness – mainly revolving around my love of cake and chocolate and my aversion for sweating or panting.

The fourth problem was my age. Now you may have noticed that nearly all competitors were in their 20’s or 30’s and I know I look young, but I may be a bit older than that. In fact, I am a bit older than the parents of the people who competed in the Olympics. This “age factor” played a major role in the selectors decision when it came to me putting myself forward as a “major player” for the Olympic team.

My fifth problem was a physical one – I have found that having two arthritic knees, a “dicey” ankle, a degenerate spine and an enormous waist is not helpful when trying to participate in sports like the Winter Olympics.

When you combine all these factors and then add some ailments such as asthma, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, low exercise tolerance, fear of heights and speed, hand-eye incoordination then you can start to understand why I did not compete in this year’s Winter Olympics.

But I am not deterred – as mentioned earlier there is still the summer Olympics in 2 years’ time and that means that I will continue with my dream of one day representing Australia (and if that does not work out – there is the Olympic Games in Brisbane in 2032 to aim at.

Talk to you next month Davo
