FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY, BITE LIKE A BORDER COLLIE



Bo Jackson - football and baseball

Dave Winfield - baseball and basketball

Dieon Sanders - baseball and football

Jim Brown - football and lacrosse (no, really, lacrosse, not even I could make this up)

They are rare, these multi sport athletes, and they gain fame through their ability to excel at more than one athletic endeavour. Well, we need to add a new name to the roster of the immortals ...



On our recent trip up north, Terra demonstrated that she is no one hit wonder. She is not an athlete defined by any single disipline. She is at home in the water ..
.. on land ..


.. or even in the air ..


... Terra has proven that she is up to just about any athletic endeavour. While Terra has already established herself as a martial artist she has expanded her athletic repertoire to include various ball sports.
But this has not been an easy road. Natural talent is not enough to propel an athlete from the standard to the extraordinary. Every great athlete needs an inspiration, a mentor, a coach. And Terra has Miss Hayley ..
Coach Hayley is always there with an encouraging bark, a sympathetic tail wag, or, her most favourite motivational technique, a swift bite to the bum ..
And in this day and age, talent like this always means dollars and cents. For athlete and coach both. Luckily, they have an agent to whom they look for advise and guidance, in this case Collette who has all the financial answers ... and the ball in her hand
Now that a contract is the works, the two girls have some negotiating to do: Terra - "Let's demand free kibble forever!" Hayley - "Dumb jock, we already get kibble what we hold for is pizza! Pizza I tell you!"


But until the scouts and the managers and the owners are ready to get serious and puppy up (instead of pony up) Coach Hayley will keep her protoge in tune with that old mantra, practise practise practise .... or I'll bite your furry butt
And now, sports fans, let's go to the video ...

  1. They look like they are having fun, which is I think the core of sports - do what you love.

    Also, didn't Magic Johnson so baseball and basketball. Though both ball and running sports, so I guess Terra has that covered
