“I am the greatest; I said that even before I knew I was.” These are the words of arguably the greatest of all time, Muhammad Ali.  He gave everything to be the best at what he did.

With Gold, Silver and Bronze up for grabs in London, is it ok to strive for less than the best?  In my opinion it’s not.  That’s the opinion of someone who is not a world class athlete that has not earned the right to be part of the greatest show on earth.  I absolutely respect each competitor who has worked hard to be part of London 2012 and has been better than many of their competitors.  I will never be able to say that I am an elite athlete.  However, I truly believe that it is all about striving to be the greatest and not sitting back and being happy with almost the best.
