Saturday I attended the graduation ceremony at Cal State Monterey Bay. My coach and I were asked to come by some of his former athletes. We were honored to be invited to share in their special day. Hearing the cheers in the stadium made me realize how important it is to have a cheering section and people to help you along the way.
I'm looking forward to cheering on Quin as he makes his way through life. Right now that means encouraging him to keep trying to hit the baseball as he takes his cuts while standing in the front yard. So far he's refused to tee it up on the stand we have for kids his age.
Funny, I know sooner than I am ready, I will be yelling for him at his own graduation.
After Blake Russell competed for the U.S. in 2008 Beijing Olympics her life changed drastically. In 2009, she gave birth to Quin and the already active Russell household in Pacific Grove turned it up a notch. Russell is now back in training, hoping to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics while making an Olympian effort to be a good wife and mother.
