I am Hermes

Yes it is me, the messenger God Hermes of Mount Olympus, son of the great Greek God Zeus and Maia. It has been decades since I have made my presence known and travelled to earth with messages of supreme excellence from the majestic sanctuary on Mount Olympus. Last time I flew among mortals was in the early 1900’s when I visited Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert with the idea of creating a comic strip character reincarnation of myself (yes as a Greek God I know little of humility).

I am sure you know it well as you continue to purchase the comic books, video games and watch the hit series “The Flash”. Are you that naïve that you DID NOT realize The Flash was a modern day representation of the original form of speedy perfection? Observe the winged helmet, the winged shoes, and my father’s lightning bolt. Come on people you are smarter than that… aren’t you???

Okay let me digress as there are more urgent matters to discuss that relates to my return amongst the inhabitants of earth. Unfortunately, hundreds of years ago we (Greek Gods) were ordered to keep out of the business of mortals and allow you to live without direct interruption; thereby making the weakness of human beings became ever so evident. However, I, as the messenger God, the fastest God ever to live with prowess in sport and athleticism, decided to disobey the laws of the elder Gods and bring to you humans, my secrets. Secrets that kept me fit, made me stronger, faster and more powerful and don’t forget graceful. All in all, my secrets have made me the best possible athlete, ever.

Over the years I have inadvertently passed on some of these secrets to some coaches: Bill Belichik (coach of the New England Patriots), Glen Mills (Coach of Usain “Lightning” Bolt), Phil Jackson (coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers) who can now boast to be part of the lucky few. The problem was, is and continues to be that these secrets have only remained amongst the “elite athletes” of your world and not shared for all to benefit. So I, Hermes have decided to take matters into my own hands.

My quest is to return weekly to share my knowledge and personal opinions on issues, topics and any information with regards to sport and sport development in your world.

My premise is that you all have the ability to become like the Greek champions of my time STRONGER, FASTER and FITTER. The ugly truth is that the first Olympics held within the ALTIS was a form of recognizing champions, however in that time only Kings were overweight; now obesity and ignorance plagues the green and blue colors of the earth.

My hope is that these weekly messages will provide some change, some advancement and some enhancement to the cultures, the attitudes, the analysis and the manners of perception with regard to sport, sport development and strength and conditioning.

This is about HEALTHY lifestyles, SPORTING lifestyles and creating CHAMPIONS.
