My title "Stepping up to the plate to the 2014 Winter Olympics" is about two things. First, Michael Hubbs who is a proven long track (and short track) speed skating athlete who is constantly stepping up to the plate on becoming a very competitive speed skater with his growing accomplishments over the last year and half. His accomplishments are notable if you followed his updates on Facebook. The goal of Hubbs' is to win a spot on the U.S. Olympics team for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Soichi, Russia. This cannot be done without sweat, blood, sacrifice, and lots of money for training and traveling.
The other aspect of my title is that the deaf community and deaf owned and run companies will need to step up to the plate even more by sponsoring Michael Hubbs for his financial needs and support to continue with his training. If they are serious about wanting to see Michael Hubbs go to the 2014 Winter Olympics and for him to get the necessary training, then they need to step up and provide some financial support for Michael Hubbs. His own track records speak for itself as well as his honesty, heart and dedication on becoming the gold medal winner at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Financial support is even more crucial for the next 3 months when his goal is to raise $25,000 to help pay for a trip to South Korea and attend a 2 month long speed skating training camp known for its world class training camp. Getting there could make the difference on helping him win the spot on the U.S. Olympics Team.
