Champion of Health

Bill Bowerman, co-founder of Nike and Olympic Coach once said, “If you have a body you are an athlete”. 

Consider his words… he is saying that every body is an athlete.  You need not be on the field in front of millions hitting a ball or skating the ice.  You don’t need to look a certain way, or perform to a certain standard, and you definitely don’t have have to lift tons of weight or look top notch in a bikini to be an athlete, or to be the Champion of your Health.

Instead, shift your mindset to treat your body, mind and spirit like the athlete (and awesome human being)you are, and you will focus on what is important to you and your health vitality.
