The Athlete’s Forum

I want to let the readers of B and B know about a project I have been working on for the last couple weeks. Basically, I got sick of having to fly across the country to learn from good coaches. It is expensive and time consuming. With the advances in web cam technology, we are now able to learn from really good coaches from around the country without leaving our homes. That is why we created The Athlete’s Forum. Connecting really good coaches with people around the world anxious to learn.
