"It's in the air!"

I love the weekend before the "BIG ONE!" Can you feel it? Our Summer Games is where it all started. We will have 33 sports at over 75 venues in a three day span next weekend. We hope to reach 7,000 athletes. The on-line registration is hummin', the phone is ringin', the mail is steady. Our athletes are preparing to extend themselves, the commissioners are covering the last set of details,the volunteers are anxious about their assignments, the staff wonders if there is a enough time, and I'm a little bit cranky as I keep on pushin'!
It's game time! I want the ball when the game is on the line....I like the feeling. It's show time ....the sponsors expectations are high, the press is making there inquiries. I'm checking the numbers constantly, I'm not sleeping much, and calling myself with reminders. We have a PLAN----I like the plan. In essence everything we do will in the final analysis benefit someone in a positive way through sports! Let's roll!
