Today is my birthday. I am, well, I’ll just go ahead and tell you that this the final year of my thirties. Time just continues to march on. With that–and the new month, we had our weekly Zoom meeting to check on the progress of the Life After the Games course. Dr. Tiell sent a couple of documents my way to share in the meeting. Again, I am the acting facilitator of these calls, so documents come to me for sharing once we are in the room. It is very similar to what I do at my job. One of the documents is a description of the honorary chair for the program itself, it basically outlines what obligations the titleholder has regarding the promotion of the program.
The second document is a letter going to the head of the Athlete’s Commission for a certain governing body. It outlines the benefits of Life After the Games and how the organization can get involved. Grant funding provided by the IOC may be able to assist in the costs of training (B. Tiell, personal communication, Oct. 1, 2020). We really are moving along with this project now. Attending the meeting was really the extent of my work today. I am in the closing stages of my Human Resources in Sports course and the final project is due this week, so most of my attention has gone into finishing that. I will have a little more time to devote to the ICC after the class is over.
