The Tour of Olympia made its stop at Montana's BBQ and Grill in Barrie on Sunday and it was again great to connect with Olympians and make book sales into a family reunion of sorts. Here are Week 5 Olympians Nicole and Paul Harrington and their brand new copies of A Hero's Journey: Beyond Little Norway and Olympia Sports Camp. Great that Paul is sporting an Olympia shirt and Nicole is repping the WNBA while respecting the indigenous ways, a big part of the book, with her bright orange hoodie.

Two intercollegiate athletes at Western, the journey of Nicole and Paul has taken them into the teaching profession, where they have impacted hundreds. They also have three children who are now on their own journeys, with firm grounding from their awesome parents. Joy and I were also thrilled to see and share stories with Olympians Marnie Buchanan, Michele McConney, and E.J. Johnson. Thanks to my brother Pat and his wife Sonja for putting the event on. 

This tour is a lesson in doing your best and planting seeds that will grow over time. The numbers may be small, but the enjoyment of the experience is awesome. No complaints here, as we are watering the bamboo. ( another great book)  To be able to see people you used to see once a summer and could hardly wait to see them provides priceless moments. Get a few Olympians together and HERE WE GO!  As we learn through the hero's journey itself, we just keep doing our best and have our allies help us in our journey. There is no room for worrying about the outcome, it's the process that will win the day.

If you have read the book, or been to one of our events, please spread the word to your circle of friends and Olympia brethren. Send me thoughts and pics and I'll share them on TWD,

Christmas is around the corner! Get the gift every Olympian would love! Check out the future dates on our Tour Of Olympia. Want to host an event in your town? We travel well. Let's chat.

 Karl Svoboda began his rugby career at Belleville's Centennial Secondary School and the Belleville Bulldogs club team. When he started with the Bulldogs at 16 he was the club's youngest player. When he retired from the game he was the club's oldest, and probably most accomplished. Karl had success in rugby the world over. He won three OUA championships with the University of Toronto Blues and he first made Canada's national team in 1985. He ended up being team captain of the national team for years and played in the first three Rugby World Cups in 1987, 1991, and 1995. He also played senior rugby for the Ajax Wanderers and attended the prestigious Oxford University in England at the dawn of professional rugby in 1996. I gleaned this information from research because for a decade or more of sharing week 5 coaching duties and sitting around campfires this understated superstar would rather play guitar and talk about fishing or that day's bike ride or swim than boast

In the summer of 2019,  Blaine Scatcherd  was introducing himself at the opening meeting of week 5 and told the assembly of coaches that he worked as a counsellor at Olympia for 4 ¾ years. People who knew the story, including Dave Grace, roared with laughter at the self-effacing honesty Blaine showed when recounting an incident that may have been the worst in his career, yet a defining moment that changed him forever and made him a better teacher and coach, and a better person.    Blaine Scatcherd is from Ottawa, where he was coached in football at Glebe Collegiate Institute by Olympia coach Skip Riddell. He went on to play football at Acadia University and played professionally in France for 2 years before embarking on his teaching profession.   “Skip recommended to me in grade 11 that I work at Olympia as it was a great place for an athlete and would-be coach, so I applied to Olympia with Skip’s reference. I went down to Toronto for a group interview and thought I aced it. I didn’t g

They say that a picture tells a thousand words. How about two pictures? In the writing of A Hero's Journey: Beyond Little Norway and Olympia Sports Camp I got to interview a lot of people dedicated to Olympia and to the vision of Dave Grace. Out of this process I learned three things about the 50- year journey of the staff of Olympia: 1- Olympia inspires young people 2- Staff inspire others to do the same 3- Staff move on in their lives, carrying Olympia with them, while others replace  Staff like Randy Kipfer and Kevin O'Reilly This picture of Harlem Globetrotter Curly Neal with some amazing counsellors can be found in the book at the start of Chapter 6-Allies and Ogres . It captures an Olympia moment shared by good friends and a world-class basketball entertainer, but the insert is the key element of an Olympia journey that spans decades.  There are literally hundreds of stories of staff who have graced the lands of Interlaken. Every story is unique, every story is echoed th
