Kirk's Bio
I am a physical education teacher at the high school level. Since my profession is one that promotes physical fitness I try to keep in shape in order to set a good example for my students. Trying to encourage high school age students to make sound choices regarding exercise and diet becomes much more difficult if you cannot practice what you preach. Respect is something that is very important to me and it is something that is earned by what you do not by what you say. In a manner of speaking, setting a good example for students is one way I try to earn their respect. Anyway, that is my approach to my profession and pretty much to life as well.
I am also the author of "Becoming a True Champion: A Handbook for Young Athletes Aiming for Greatness" (http://www.becomingatruechampion.com/) and the blog "The Ahtlete's Sporting Experience: Making a Difference" (http://www.becomingatruechampion.blogspot.com/)

Kirk,
I notice that you are author of "Becoming a True Champion: A Handbook for Young Athletes Aiming for Greatness."
You seem to be in chorus with a good friend of mine, Ken Baum, author of "THE MENTAL EDGE - Maximize Your Sports Potential with the Mind-Body Connection," among others.
If you need a connection, I'd be happy to make it for you.
His website is KenBaumsMentalEdge.com
