My name is Ryan and my current position is Ambassador of FeverSportsWorld. I'm starting to blog once a week of amazing things I've experienced in life. FeverSportsWorld is a content creator that promotes sport communities at the grass root levels.
Audiences may follow us through our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/feversportstv.
As well, we will have a weekly show on ShawTV starting in 2014 as a pilot project.
Sports is in interesting topic because not all kind of sports are not known to public such as Sepak takraw, Blob jumping, Foosball league, etc. My goal is to find and promote sports that are unheard of and share it to the people and inspire youth to love sports.

During this weekend I had a chance to speak and interview a friend of mine who is attending the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics the first time.

Luge is a sport where an individual sits on a toboggan and slide down through an icy track of about 100 km/hr.
What was impressive during the interview was the way how Kim explained about consistency with commitment and determination that had lead her all the way to where she is right now. She mentioned clearly that she is not striving for a medal for this up coming year (2014) but instead experience the joy and aim for top 10. Being an athlete is tough but also fun at the same time as long as there's balance in life in terms of training and relaxing. As well she mentioned that all athletes who are pursuing their career in sports should follow their dreams because having an active life will benefit one's health and having friends and connections are experience. Also, Kim got to travel to countries such as Germany, Italy, Latvia, Russia, USA and Russia. She wishes one day to slide down the ice track in Nagano, Japan.
In our interview, Kim told me that she started Luge when she was just 11 where if we compare it to the average age of recruiting today at 8, she started really late. But with mentality of wanting to be successful and having a passion for sports like Kim, nothing is impossible. Earlier in her career she had done other sports like soccer and swimming but her true passion of Luge didn't come later where one day her and her dad had stumbled upon a ski show and that's where it all started.
Not all athletes are perfect and Kim explained her lifestyle with great maturity. She told me that scheduling was a big concern typically when she was going through high school where training had conflicted with her diplomas and also the amount of time she got to spend with her family was reduced. At the end, stepping up and being a leader / role model is important because it helps inspire youth and promotes the sense of challenge and encouragement. In any kind of sports there are risk of injuries therefore little things like paying close attention to coaches when debriefing and knowing self limits are really important.
Nothing is impossible when one finds consistency through perseverance and determination.
On behalf of FeverSportsWorld we wish for the best for Kim at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.
