Olympic Ski Jumping

Day 1 of the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. Watch the Women's Individual Ski Jumping event.

This post is dedicated to my Dad who, at age 18 with ingenuity, gusto and courage, embarked on a short two year (1949 to 1950) ski jumping career in his native Austria! This past week at the age of almost 91, he enjoyed watching the Day 1 Women’s Ski Jumping event and recalled with family those jumping days.

You are amazing. Your body is amazing. Your life is amazing. 

Remember that wonderful ‘Movement Feedback Loop’ and your POWER to engage it whenever you choose movement:

1) all movement feeds the brain with sensory and movement information

2) the more you feed your brain with movement, the better organized your body becomes

3) a better organized body results in a healthier, stronger and happier you

Loop back to 1)  feed yourself movement daily, regularly, with purpose and in a variety of ways
