I’m sitting in the house of one of my former jump rope coaches, Mrs. Leaf. This is the first time I’ve seen her in almost 8 years and it’s been a great couple days catching up and goofing off. She came out to a show I did today at Andrews Air Force Base and I even had her step up and turn some double dutch for a few audience members I had come out.
This week I’ve got a number of shows around the state of Washington before heading out to Oregon and California next week. I’ll be hanging out with my best friend, Trent Cunningham, through next weekend and I’m planning on filming a few new episodes of the videoKast while I’m there.

We asked Peter Nestler to come and present an assembly to our pre-K - 6 on January 22nd. We are starting our Jump Rope for Heart that we do every year and I thought this would be a good tie-in with Peter being a World Champion rope jumper. Anyway, we asked Peter to come and he presented just a phenomenal 45 minute presentation where he showed some of the skills that he has, he involved several of our students during 2 different times throughout the performance. His message was nice and clear and to the point. Where kids and people always want to be champions at something, the first thing you need to do is get smart, learn all you can about the skill that you want to become very good at and then you just need to get going, and that is practice, practice, practice.
His message was that it takes continual practice, but it doesn't need to be for long period of time throughout the day to get better at a skill. I would highly recommend Peter to come to any school, his enthusiasm was fantastic and he really involved the students. Not only did they get the message, but they were able to participate and be entertained at the same time.
