It's less than a week until I leave for Beijing. My wife and I are glued to the Olympic coverage and enjoying watching Michael Phelps make history. It's making me really excited for my trip. I leave next Thursday for Colorado Springs for team processing.
I feel very blessed to have this opportunity to represent the U.S.A. at the 2008 Paralympic Games. I'm very thankful I've been allowed to take time away from Samford, but I will have my cross country runners in my thoughts and prayers as they begin their season.
I am posting this blog to keep family and friends updated on my experiences while in Beijing.

About Me
- Chad James
- In June 2007 I was asked to be a consultant for the U.S. Paralympic athletes. For the past year I have been fortunate enough to coach two seated throwers, Carlos Leon and Scott Winkler, at Lakeshore Foundation (an Olympic and Paralympic training site located in Birmingham, Alabama). Recently, I was selected to the U.S. Paralympic track and field coaching staff as an Assistant National Team Coach for the 2008 Paralympic Games.
