Going for the Gold
Chris Brown talked to the 5th grade students about his career as an Olympic Greco-Roman Wrestling Champion. His presentation about the sport, about being a champion, and about a healthy lifestyle was insightful and inspiring to the students. The students were very impressed with his awards and Olympic medals. The stories and motivational goals kept everyone engaged with excitement. Students, teachers and coaches were all left with a good understanding of the importance of fitness, good nutrition and how to achieve goals in life. The 53-year-old wrestler hopes to qualify again for September’s World Veteran’s Greco-Roman Wrestling Championship in Poland. He has already started training vigorously six days a week to represent the United States in hopes of bringing home the gold.
