The U.S. Army’s World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) is an incredible opportunity for Soldiers to represent the United States in top national and international athletic competitions—including the upcoming Summer Olympics. WCAP Soldiers come from all components of the Army, including the Army Reserve. These athletes are selected for their ability to perform at the highest level of their sports while also serving the country.

US Army Reserve website: https://www.usar.army.mil/

Since its inception, WCAP has helped hundreds of Soldier-athletes achieve their goals and make their Olympic dreams a reality. Soldiers receive specialized coaching and access to state-of-the-art training facilities, sports medicine, and physical therapy to help them perform at their best. Additionally, they earn the same great pay and benefits that come with being in the Army Reserve, including education and professional development support, home loan assistance, and family benefits.

Army Reserve service has a built-in support system for these elite athletes that is impossible to replicate elsewhere. Service helps strengthen Soldiers’ dedication to training, ensuring they are ready for whatever challenges come their way, whether in their career or sport. Soldier-athletes are stronger because of the larger Army team.

Soldier-athletes are among the best in their sport, with a growing medal count (100+) to prove it. Some of the WCAP Sports include:

·         Boxing

·         Cycling

·         Track & Field

·         Soccer

·         Shooting

·         Swimming & many others

Join Army Reserve Captain Sarah Beard as she discusses her experience in the Army Reserve and WCAP competing in 3-Position 50m Rifle and 10m Air Rifle events. In addition to earning multiple international medals over the course of her career, Captain Beard qualified as the 2020 Olympic Team Alternate in 10m Air Rifle and can speak on the once-in-a-lifetime chance to compete for a spot in the Olympic Games.

This quote submitted by Glen C.

“It’s always darkest just before the dawn.”
— Original Author: Thomas Fuller

And next, I love this true story, sent to me by Holger F.:

Marshmallow Theory

A teacher gave a beautiful toffee to all the children of the class and then said a strange thing!

“Listen, children! All of you are not to eat your toffee for ten minutes” and saying that he walked out of the class room.

There was silence in the classroom for a few moments, every child was looking at the toffee in front of them and it was difficult to stop them with each passing moment. Ten minutes are over and the teacher enters the class room.

Reviewed, there were seven children in the whole class  whose toffees were untouched, while all the other children were eating toffee and commenting on its color and taste. The teacher secretly recorded the names of these seven children in his diary and began to read after noting. The name of this teacher was Professor Walter Torch.

After a few years, Professor Walter opened his own diary and removed the names of seven children and started researching them. After a long struggle, he came to know that the seven children have achieved many successes in their lives and are the most successful among their own field people.

Professor Walter also reviewed the rest of his class of students and it was found that most of them were leading a normal life, while there were some who were faced with strict economic and social conditions.

All this effort and research resulted in one sentence by Professor Walter and that was it.

“A man who cannot be patient for ten minutes can never move forward in life”

This research gained worldwide prominence and was named “Marshmallow Theory” because the toffee that Professor Walter gave the children was named “Marshmallow”. It was soft like foam.

According to this theory, one of the most successful people in the world are found with special quality of ‘patience’, because this quality increases the strength of the human being, due to which the man is not disappointed in difficult situations and he becomes an extraordinary personality.

Patience is the essence of life!

“Success usually comes down to choosing the pain of discipline over the ease of distraction”

Patience is the essence of success! ?

JASA is one of the largest, most trusted agencies serving older adults and they created this hub of events, which are virtual and free to the public throughout the United States, to ensure that older adults are still able to access vibrant cultural programming while continuing to shelter in place and avoid the heat.

JASA’s programs for older adults are considered by many to be the gold standard in the space, and their virtual senior center programming is really the most unique of its kind, offering a variety of culturally diverse workshops:

JASA will also be hosting a Virtual Crossword Puzzle Event with The New York Times’ Will Shortz this Wednesday, July 29th! This “Get a Clue: Crossword Construction” class has actually been a main staple of Sundays and JASA (mentioned above), and now, acting as a virtual, public event, funds from the evening will go directly to supporting JASA’s services.
