I'm wondering if any of you speedskaters might have a reccomendation for a good sports-orientated chiropractor and/or doctor of osteopathy.
My soon-to-be 15 year old son, Lex (a beginner speed skater) got hit by a car on his bicycle a little over a year ago. He also took a heck of a fall on his ski's last year, which could be a contributing factor: at the time we thought he'd broken his ribs . Anway, while at the beach, earlier this summer, we were very surprised to see just how assymmetrical his rib-cage still is, and are looking for somebody who might be able to work with him to get things back in alignment. Since moving to Utah, we haven't had the need for a chiropractor/DO, and really aren't sure where to turn
to. I've had very mixed luck with them: some have absolutely worked miracles for me, others have been a waste of time and money. I'm hoping to avoid that trial-and-error process-
You may have received this invitation
already but just to make sure I am forwarding this to you.
Below is an invitation for anybody who is
interested in the Utah Sport for Life Summit. This summit is not limited to speed
skaters but is open to athletes, coaches, and administrators of all other sports.
If you know anybody who might be interested please forward the announcement
below.

If you are an administrator, coach, program

or general health related organization, you should not miss this unique
opportunity!
The Utah Athletic Foundation invites you to attend this one day
conference in order to learn, participate and share perspectives on how
to better align and improve upon our sports and recreation systems here
in Utah.
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you think would

Olympic legacy facilities and provide opportunities for athletes,
community members, and visitors of all ages and abilities to

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Eric
Heiden
"A Perspective on Long-Term Athlete
Development"
Through
his personal journey as an Olympian in Speedskating and as a
competitor in cycling to his career as an orthopedic surgeon,
Dr. Heiden provides a unique perspective on Long-Term Athlete
Development.
Utah Sport for Life is a new way of looking at the way
we develop athletes. The Sports Summit is designed to
introduce a proven underlying model of Long Term Athlete Development
(LTAD) and allow presenters and facilitators of breakout sessions to
highlight the benefits it has. The way we look at and promote the
teaching of physical activity has powerful implications on our
population. Attendees to this conference will undoubtedly be
invigorated and encouraged to rethink the way we are developing
participants in programs. Utah
Sport for Life presents an opportunity for
organizations to collaborate and partner on shared interests. Our
goals are simple: to create physical literacy in all Utah children
an to improve the health of Utahns through long-term participation in
sports.

June 20: South Jordan Parade
Parade: Our number will be 25; LeeAnn will be there at 7:45 but you do not need
to be there until about 9am when the parade actually starts. Staging will take
place at the Salt Lake County Equestrian Park parking lot, located on 2200 West
and about 11000 South. You must enter the staging area coming from 11400 South
and 2200 West. We will not be allowed to throw candy, but we do have permission
to hand the children candy off the side of the road. The parade will end in
South Jordan Plaza parking lot between the County library and South Jordan City
Hall. We cannot unload until we are told to, so please be patient and wait until
we have the ok to do so. Once we have been given the ok at any of the 3
unloading bays, you are free to go! It may be easier to have a car with someone
waiting for you at the end of the parade, which is City Hall at about 1600 West
Towne center drive; your other option can be to ride with one of the Oval
vehicles but Lee Ann's check in time is 7:45 so she will be leaving the oval at
approximately 7 to get there on time.
Contact: LeeAnn ( LeeAnn.Lio@... ) if you are able to help out.
**As a member of the Oval Speed Skating Club, your participation will be
documented and you may be eligible to receive support funds at the end of the
year.
Dear Speedskaters & Speedskating Supporters,
As you all know the new skating season is beginning. Each year we try to be
better. This year the Oval Speed Skating Club is looking to unify its members
and become a great body of people who not only skate on the fastest ice on
earth, but have fun taking part in the awesome opportunities that are available
to us. Our club skates at the Utah Olympic Oval just outside Salt Lake City in
Kearns, Utah. It is an Olympic Training Center site.
In order to make our club stronger we are looking to you for that help. If you
would like to become part of a team in volunteering your time, that leads and
supports our Club and athletes, please review the following and apply if
interested. Remember, these positions are open to anyone and everyone over the
age of 18 (parents, siblings, family, skaters, coaches, supporters).
Events & Activities Coordinator: As the E&A Coordinator, you will plan, schedule
and carry out club activities, such as: parties/dinners, bowling night, bike
rides, meetings, etc.... along with working with companies and organizations in
attending their functions and gathering people to attend them (parades, fairs,
etc...).
Treasurer: Money is your focus. You will track incoming & outgoing money with
the finest detail. You will also play a major role in fund raising.
Membership & Recruit: You will keep track of the members records and get more
people to sign up, by attending public skating sessions and distributing flyers
and info. You will need to attend most speedskating practices. Must be outgoing
and friendly.
+ All of these jobs also include: You must have a positive attitude, be open to
comments and suggestions, have great communication skills, help and support
anyone who needs it and be a leader. You will receive help from the President
and Vice President, along with other club members. It is also requested that you
attend most events.
If you would like to fill one of these positions, please email
(teriwillingham@...) and tell us why you would be good at it. The deadline
is: July 1, 2009
I understand that being a leader in any organization takes up a lot of personal
time. If we can delegate and share the responsibilities of becoming a great club
and supporting each other, I believe we can have a very fun and successful
season.
On Saturday, July 11, 2009 the voting of the new board will take place at the
Club's Welcome Back Party. We will have member sign ups, food, games & prizes.
More details to follow.
Sincerely,
Teri Willingham [teriwillingham@...]
