Brave Clarke vying for best comeback of 2011 honour

City A.M., Friday 20th January 2012

 

Northern Irishman’s long-awaited Open triumph up against Abidal and Xiang at Laureus World Sports Awards in London .

 

THERE was no more heart-warming sporting moment in 2011 than Darren Clarke’s victory in the Open Championship. At the age of 42, at his 20th attempt, the odds were decidedly stacked against him.

His victory came at the end of difficult personal time for him following the death of his wife four years earlier. As he concentrated on looking after his sons, inevitably his golf had suffered.

Now, after his emotional success at Royal St George’s, he is one of the nominees for the Laureus World Comeback of the Year Award. He will find out if he has won on February 6, at the glamorous awards ceremony in London.

The winners are chosen by the 47 members of the Laureus World Sports Academy, which includes global sports stars of the stature of Boris Becker, Sebastian Coe, Nadia Comaneci, Sean Fitzpatrick, Marvin Hagler and Martina Navratilova, plus golfing greats like Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Until his passing in May, the great Seve Ballesteros was also a Laureus Academy Member.  Full article.

DGS P.E. Teacher's Book to Be Released in May

Kirk Mango's book, "Becoming a True Champion," helps teen

athletes make decisions that will empower them to achieve with

integrity.  Woodridge Patch; Mary Ann Lopez  January 12, 2012

 

For years Kirk Mango has worked diligently toward one goal,
writing a book.

Dedication and determination aren’t new to Mango, 54, a
two-time college All-American gymnast.

At the heart of his book, Becoming a True Champion, Achieving
Athletic Excellence From the Inside Out,
which will be published
in May, are the lessons and life-skills he learned as an athlete,
coach and parent. Now he hopes to share what he has learned
with young athletes.

 

Many other well-known athletes seem to agree with Mango and have endorsed his book. Olympic gold medal gymnast Nadia Comaneci wrote the foreword to the book. Full article.
