Student Testimony<br />

"Thank you for this wonderful Olympic program<br />

you have provided for my school. It has helped me<br />

in so many ways that I didn’t think were possible. I<br />

improved my time on the mile run. This was<br />

because I took the advice I was given by David<br />

Brinton, and I used it. I also was able to<br />

accomplish more sit-ups and push-ups than I used<br />

to be able to before this program. Not only has this<br />

program with David Brinton help me physically, but<br />

it has also changed how I think about myself<br />

mentally. I always knew that P.E was never my<br />

strong suit and sometimes I felt discouraged.<br />

David Brinton taught me about goals and helped<br />

me gain progress in what I needed to be better at.<br />

For me, this progress was a huge success and has<br />

changed my life. I started believing in myself and<br />

now I feel like I can do anything I set my mind to. I<br />

know by setting goals, practicing, and taking my<br />

challenges one step at a time, I can achieve my<br />

goals and make them become a reality.<br />

Without this program, I would have never passed<br />

the Fitness Gram Test. I would have never found<br />

the courage to say to myself, “It’s ok Cayden.<br />

Keep trying and don’t give up on yourself”. I am<br />

very grateful for this lesson that I have learned and<br />

I know I will keep it with me throughout my life in<br />

whatever I do.<br />

I also think that the “Ready, Set, Gold” is also good<br />

for the Olympians. I think that it is a good chance<br />

for them to not only feel like winners in their life,<br />

but also as champions in making a difference in<br />

someone life. The Olympic spirit lives on in them<br />

and they are passing on a wonderful gift to others.<br />

They teach and inspire which is worth a gold<br />

medal in my book any day. I know that David<br />

Brinton made a huge difference in my life. Not only<br />

did he help me, but he helped other kids at my<br />

school become confident and encourage them to<br />

go the extra mile and become stronger with their<br />

bodies and their minds."<br />

Teacher Testimony<br />

"Cayden has let nothing stop her.<br />

Overcoming asthma and a personal<br />

label of “Not Athletic,” Cayden set<br />

out to prove that she could be faster,<br />

higher and stronger. Her persistence<br />

and guidance from RSG has<br />

inspired everyone in 5th grade<br />

including her teachers."<br />
