These words by Armstrong sum up how much his life changed from the moment he was diagnosed. “Birthdays don't really matter much anymore ... for me, I sort of have a new birthday and that's October 2nd, the day I was diagnosed, ... the day we all sort of look to and mark these milestones by one year, two year, five year, 10 year.

It was early Sunday morning, when I arrived at my favorite paradise: The Motocross track. As I began to gear up, I was pondering the goals I would exceed. I slid my helmet over my head, buckled it, knowing that I had just committed to exceeding my expectations and accomplishing my goals. The feeling grew stronger as I swung my leg over the bike.

Todi Oyewole Mrs Rohrer English 101 November 20, 2012 Coaching When people watch sports they tend to look past a person who is very important to every team, the coach. Most kids watch football, soccer, or basketball games and get motivated to be athletes but nobody talks about being a coach.
