Without exception, the athletes who contributed these chapters have addressed groups, large and small, in their collective mission to share the power and relevance of their Olympic experiences. The message hidden just beneath the surface of each chapter is that Olympic champions are not extraordinary people, rather, they are ordinary people who merely have been able to accomplish extraordinary things in the area of life that matters most to each of them. Within each of us lies a dormant form of an Olympian, waiting to be awakened.
