He would quite often say "I've always enjoyed the way Valorie and her young ladies represent themselves on and off the competition floor. As far as I'm concerned, they should all receive 10.0's all the time."

I have done quite a bit of speaking the past few years. Every time I finish people have asked me “Where can I buy your book?” I never felt like I had anything to say that hadn’t already been said. One day my friend, Abbe Shapiro said “Every generation needs people to speak to these life truths in a way that resonates with our current generation.” So... I decided to put my thoughts into a book.

I read A LOT! Listen to podcasts when I’m driving. And talk out loud in my car about things that I might be interested to write about. If they feel like they have some grit and would be of interest to someone else then I go home and write all my thoughts down and start putting them in a comprehensive order.

I am currently working on more content for my website to continue to drive interest to my book. I’m also getting interest in my Urban Nutcracker film project as well as a theatrical production that has the potential to be huge!!!

JUST DO IT! Don’t worry out what anyone else with think of your writing. It’s YOUR writing, YOUR truth, YOUR inspiration. Enjoy It!

Especially when writing an autobiography, the best thing about the process is the self-analysis that is necessary to create the content. The other thing I realized is that when writing, it really doesn’t matter if I’m a good writer or not, what matters is that I’m actually taking the time and energy to put my thoughts into writing. This practice offers great introspection and insight.

Great question as it happens weekly as I’m trying to formulate a new post for my website that might be of interest to people. I find the best thing to do is to take a short break and then just start writing down everything I’m thinking. I can always go back and make sense of it later. If I’m really stuck I’ll listen to a TED Talk or one of Oprah’s amazing SuperSoul conversations, that usually sparks something worth discussing.

I never feared being the head coach but have had constant concern about our athletes getting injured and therefore take great care to make sure they are in a focused and strong frame of mind before executing each of their skills. I believe one of my assets is that I was never allowed to have an ego coaching because I didn’t know anything so I hired really good people and asked a ton of questions. I still do.
