Just Say Yes!

My book Fighting for Gold is out! It is about the 2006 Sledge Hockey Team and how they won fought the odds to win gold at the Paralympics in Turin. The guys on the team are amazing. I am thrilled I was able to meet them and write about them. I have talked to lots of children at lots of schools about this book and they are always enthralled.

Also, I finished up edits on Home Ice. This is a book about the 46 players who attended the 2010 Men's Hockey Orientation camp in August. Why they were picked for the camp? Will they make the team? This book will be released on November 17th, just in time for Christmas.

Last weekend I spoke at the "Just Say Yes" conference in Ottawa and what a fantastic conference. The positive energy has fueled me for the entire week and I know will continue to carry me through. I spoke on Fear and how to fight your fears to accomplish your dreams. I coined my talk "Fear is a Four-Letter Word." Cassie Campbell was also there and her motivational talk was awarded with a standing ovation. The range of speakers was pretty amazing, (NY Times Bestselling author Peggy McColl was also speaking and she was funny and honest), and I left the conference totally charged. Next year this conference is being held in Calgary so...make sure, if you're somewhere in the area, that you attend. And if you're not in the area then save your points and take a trip to Calgary. You will have a blast!
