and part of his bio:
Brian Goodell
Olympic Gold Medalist
As a 17 year-old high school Senior from Mission Viejo High School, Brian Goodell won Olympic gold medals in the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games in two individual events, the 1500 Meter Freestyle and the 400 Meter Freestyle, both in world record times. He came home from Montreal to lead the Diablos to their first ever Mythical National Championship, as compiled by Swimming World Magazine, and a CIF Division I Title.
Brian attended UCLA to swim under the tutelage of the legendary swimming coach, George Haines. He won 9 NCAA individual swimming titles while swimming for the Bruins, and helped build the team to national champions in 1982. Brian set 5 world records and 10 American Records during his career.
Brian set the stage to repeat his Olympic victories in 1980 by winning 3 gold medals in the 1979 Pan American Games in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He was a member of the 1980 United States Olympic team and received the Congressional Gold Medal for outstanding achievement.***
He's been an inspiration to me for 30 years!

It takes faith to believe that you can do anything to improve your outcomes, whether from external treatments or internal strength. Take a look at clinical trials and see how well a placebo works in a double blind study, that's faith in action! The power of the mind is amazing and a faithful attitude is a wonderful state of mind to help your own body rally the resources it has at its disposal, both spritual and temporal. Love you!
