It's the history and what Nike represents, not only the sporting world, but also in the overall promotion and encouragement of health and fitness lifestyles for all people.

I have agreed to work alongside Nike to encourage a level of excellence in the sporting arena, as well as promote health and fitness lifestyle in general. As an example, Nike and I have decided to forward the brand to my children’s wrestling team. We have incentives and prizes presented to children who are advancing and achieving goals. Nike will be working together with me to ensure this programs success, and offer their full support.

In regards to myself and Nike, once again, I am truly honored to be approached by such a large well established and well respected company as Nike.

Having Nike's interest and support inspires me to train to my best ability, and perform in the sporting arena at the highest level of excellence,

There's nothing else to say now, except 'Just Do It' and I will."
