On this Sunday, I put the finishing touches on my report for the Life After the Games course and sent that on. In theory, I had completed it last night but I wanted to give extra thought to the question that had been posed about how sports fit into the curriculum. The name of the course is Life After the Games, so there needs to be some sort of a connection to competitive sport and as I determined previously, there is with the content we are presenting. With two weeks to go before the soft launch of the product, my part of the testing stage is finished. Next came some updates to the brochure based on new developments. It did not take nearly as long as I thought it would, but I have not shared it either. There is some biographical information I am waiting for with our new spokesperson before I do that.
Those items taken care of, I moved on to another task: compiling contacts from the associations that make up the United States Olympic Team. You would think that Team USA was just one big happy family like your favorite NFL or college team but in reality, each of the sports it competes in is overseen by a governing body. In some instances, there is one organization with jurisdiction over a sport, and the Paralympic version of that sport is assumed by another. The Team USA website lists dozens of sports in which it has athletes, so many that it would probably make sense for a separate entity to run each one.
