The Special Olympians: The Ultimate Example of Athletic Spirit :
The athletes who compete in the Special Olympics do so with a spirit that in many ways demonstrates the highest ideals of athleticism. Although these physically and mentally challenged individuals may not break world records, or appear on the front page of the sports section of the newspaper, they illustrate the power of the human spirit. These remarkable individuals compete with a purity, dedication, and determination that inspire anyone and everyone. It is this intangible spirit that comes from within that propels each person to greatness and is the secret to personal accomplishment.
“Wannabee’s” perform activities for the glory, the prestige, or for narcissistic pride. Sometimes these actions manifest out of a low self-esteem. I can’t tell you how many 250lb bodybuilders I have met who “thought they were small”, or how many stunningly beautiful fitness girls complain that they are “too fat”. To me these athletes represent the worst in the sport, and cast a negative image to the real athletes (bodybuilders) who work day in and day out, to simply improve the physical expression of their Self.

Wannabee’s strut around the gyms like peacocks, they put down the accomplishments of others, make excuses for their own shortcomings and exaggerate their own accomplishments. In other words they say “I am a “bodybuilder” or “I’m Hardcore” etc but their thoughts of self-image is completely defined by what they see in the mirror or what the scale reads. Often the self-image of Wannabee’s are extremely distorted and borders on delusion.
When you let anything define you, whether it’s your job, your sport, or a relationship, you can bet you have a “wannabee” or distorted belief system that will invariably lead to problems at some point in the future. Often times it takes a crash to the bottom of society with somewhat painful consequences for these individuals to experience a “Reality Check”.
