a sign from above??? THIS COULD BE MY CHANCE!

Hello!
My name is Elana Meyers and I will be representing the U.S. in the 2010 Olympics as a brakeman on the women's bobsled team. I will be moving to the driver's seat soon, and I am starting a national search for brakeman. Not only am I searching for brakeman, but our federation is searching for the next round of Olympians- as much of our current team will be moving on to other things. I am emailing you asking for your help. What I am looking for is strong, powerful, fast, and athletic women, as these are the qualities that make a successful brakeman (ANY AGE!). We can teach anyone how to bobsled! I played softball in college, while other athletes have played soccer, rubgy, and ran track, so I am looking for women from a variety of sports. Bobsled is a sport where the majority of competitors get into the sport later, and our Jr. National team is considered anyone 26 and under! Bobsled is a great opportunity to travel around the world, meet new people, and represent your country in one of the greatest winter sports!

Please forward this message on to anyone you think may be interested. A lot of our athletes start bobsled right after their college athletic careers have ended- so this message would greatly apply to graduating seniors that would like to continue athletics post-graduation. For any athlete who is interested, please have them email me at eamballer24@gmail.com They can also visit www.bobsled.teamusa.org to learn more information.


Thank you very much for your time!
Happy New Year!
