Joy and I have spent the last month in Maricopa, Arizona. We are very fortunate to be able to get away and we had a great time in the Valley of the Sun.  The book process involved editing my audiobook and preparing for the next stage of our journey. We hope still to continue on our Tour of Olympia. 

That Tour Of Olympia will be part of the build up for the 50th Anniversary celebrations for Olympia Sports Camp and the role that A Hero's Journey: Beyond Little Norway and Olympia Sports Camp will play. Plans are already in the works for the May 24 event. When I started this book three and  half years ago I wasn't aware of the great timing a release of a book about the people and place that is Olympia as the camp prepares to celebrate its 50th year would be. 

A cool moment took place on Saturday when Joy took books back to the Burlington Library and lo and behold she saw this. Not something that is needed to boost the ego in our societal scorecard, it is very gratifying and humbling when something you have worked on for so long bears the respect of the library and the place as a local author.  Authors often feel alone on their journey, but I thank  the local library, the people who have hosted Tour Of Olympia events, people who have bought the book, people who have provided testimonials about the book, people who comment on the Tuesdays With Dave blog, and others who have supported the in other ways. Especially people who have bought the book and are excited to take a trip down memory lane that the book provides. We all need, and have, allies along our journey.


I have recently put my book out on Facebook Marketplace for the Hamilton / Burlington area. So many people of Olympia live in the area and it will be easy to get a book to you. Check out my FaceBook page. If you are in Burlington check out Different Drummer Bookstore on Locust at Caroline downtown. 

When browsing check out the website aherosjourney.ca

We also would love to come to your town for a stop on the Tour Of Olympia. We had 12 book events before Christmas and those were rewarding in many ways. There are many other stops we'd love to make. We travel well. If you would like to have a sale email me at coachdools71@gmail.com.

 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
