In this episode of the Vertical View, I discuss the opportunities which have come my way - For the past number of years, it seems my work schedule dedicated my life - well now, after nearly 30 years of working in athletics - I've made a career change and that change has afforded me the opportunity to get involved in things I really didn't have time for in the past. Some times a pause, a change, our circumstances can turn into opportunities!
