Tonight makes a very special occasion: the 100th day in which I have performed work on behalf of the International Cultural Consortium. It has been my great honor to do so over the past nearly six months and I am proud of how far Life After the Games has come in that time. The plan is really starting to come together, now the focus can be on making sure it gets in front of the right people. I continue to work toward that by including just about any contact I can find. And how appropriate is this? As we reach Masters Weekend, the list I am working on now consists of golf organizations. The tournament was of course moved from its traditional April slot due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
If not for COVID-19, I would be attending football and basketball games this time of year plus planning for an 8k run with my nonprofit. On the flip side of that, I would be all done with the MBA program by now on account of going to Japan for the Olympics a few months earlier. Obviously, it did not work out that way and I had to adjust accordingly like so many others. The virus continues to run rampant throughout the world, to the point where officials are telling American families they should not be gathering over the holidays. It is a very unfortunate situation but if there is a silver lining to it, I have fewer distractions as I head toward the home stretch of my MBA studies.
