Ever watch The World's Strongest Man competition on ESPN or ESPN2 where they are throwing kegs or pulling buses? You must wonder how they train for these things, I mean who has a keg laying around their house other than college frat guys. I know I have always wondered this but have also wondered if they woke up one day and said "I am going to be the World's Strongest Man." I was at a conference today for work, an annual conference where we always have interesting speakers. Today was no different, I had the pleasure of listening to Bill Kazmaier speak to a bunch of professionals who try to make a difference in people's lives daily. Oh, who is Bill Kazmaier, well he is a 3 time World's Strongest Man winner and has records in power lifting that may never be matched.
Bill did not talk much about these things, maybe just at the beginning during his introduction which were video clips from years past. Bill discussed with us the message of being positive and how things will get done if you are. He sends this message to kids on a daily basis on top of keeping yourself healthy. You see Bill was always told that he would not mount to more than a hill of beans (exact quote from Bill) and said that he was going to prove those people wrong. He started thinking positive and praying, sure enough he is what he is today. Such a towering figure who you would never think could have such a powerful message could have kept everyone's attention for more than just the 45 minutes that he had.
