However, if you or one of your loved ones are in the Detroit area and in need of assistance, I'd be happy to offer whatever assistance this old body may render, which, unfortunately, isn't much these days. <br /><br />Your latest entry, Feb 17th, states that you intend to write a parenting book next year. As I said before, I think that would be an excellent resource for many folks.<br /><br />I look forward to the issuance of that book. FWIW, even though I've never set foot inside of a Judo facility, I purchased "Winning on the Ground" for my Kindle, to see what interesting things it may contain. <br /><br />All the best to you and yours,<br />KerryKerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16771168594204076692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-80843855839432190072014-02-17T22:38:16.540-08:002014-02-17T22:38:16.540-08:00Kerry, what a nice thing to say.

I am hungry for more. <br /><br />I so wish that I had been able to read this blog in my youth, when I was needy of such guidance in both life and competitions. Ignorance is not bliss... <br /><br />Had I read and understood your blog back then, I have no doubt that I'd have had a much better life and been a much better competitor. <br /><br />I'm an old man now and don't wish to bore anyone with some sad little tale of woe. That's not the reason for my post. <br /><br />I think that your writings are inspirational and could benefit a great many young people. <br /><br />The 2014 Olympic Winter games are already several days old and I've seen too many of the American team that would seem to have need of some of your wisdom. These youngster's dreams were dashed in Russia and I have commiserated with each one that I've seen. Losing sucks so bad, especially when you don't understand why. <br /><br />IMO, your blog should be required reading by any aspiring athlete (and the parents), who wishes to actually give their best effort in winning. The experiences that you've had both as a competitor and then as Ronda's parent, are simply priceless. I would hope that you'd consider writing a book, so that your experiences aren't lost to coming generations. <br /><br />I want to sincerely thank you for writing this blog. I've enjoyed it immensely. I also want to wish you and yours, the very best of things to come. I'd also like to say that I am looking forward to seeing Ronda win her match in UFC 170. I greatly enjoy watching her fights. <br /><br />Try Harder, Try Longer, and Try Again!<br /><br />All the best to both of you. <br />KerryKerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16771168594204076692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-60880928793539798362014-02-14T05:43:15.857-08:002014-02-14T05:43:15.857-08:00Every now and again, I need the virtual cuff to th...Every now and again, I need the virtual cuff to the back of the head that you've provided me over the last couple of years. This is the sort of thing I needed as I push into the last 2 months of my course work requirements. Thanks, Doc.Al B Herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693007977951992225noreply@blogger.com
