Do you have a story?

In an interview I did with Kerri Pottharst, Olympic gold medallist in beach volleyball, she mentioned the importance of having a good story. Find your angle to share with journalists to build your newsworthiness and gain free publicity.
Now High Road Entertainment is seeking stories from athletes. Do you have a compelling and inspirational story? Some of my favourite movies are those involving sport and athletes overcoming challenges to make good. I recently watched "Invincible" the story of Vince Papale who got to live his dream when he joined the NFL at age 30. There is something about the athlete who defies the opinions of others, the rejection and the failures to continually strive to be their very best. It is listening to one's own heart that enables these stars to persist through the pain and shine.
It is this very tenacity that can be used to overcome the challenges of sporting retirement and to create success in something new. Has the fight left athletes when it's no longer about sport? When do people stop dreaming about their future? It's never too late to dream and to fight for that dream. Keep striving for success in everything you do.
