Over the years I have talked to many people that have told me that they never follow their dreams. Over the years I have thought of how sad that has had to be for them and the ones that they love. I have always made sure that I do something that I love to do and when I am tired of loving it, I walk away. For 4.5 years I loved the company that I worked for and everyone around me knew it. When it became a chore to get out of bed to go to work, I quit doing it.

About a year ago, just short by 19 days, I found something else that I loved. It is called BLOGGING and a lot of us do it. I have always been a social bee always wanting to interact and never being the fly on the wall. For the last 11 months, a passion has been growing in me.

About 6 months ago I spoke to a friend about that passion and he told me that if I did not persue it, it would die. Over the last 3 and a half months, it has grown more and more. It started growing bigger when I was offered to write for Today.com on my own website called SportsFanatic based on their domain. Shortly after, I got an email from Jake of The Movie Space to also start writing for him on his site.

My friendship with Jake has grown over the last month and since that time. I expressed to him my desire of starting my own website as a Sports Network and kicking off a Blog platform that had many contributors. Over the year here I have grown to know a lot of people and develop report to the point of mutual respect. Writers we all all, and sports lovers for some of us.

So, with that said, last weekend I launched AthleticAlley before it was complete because I was so ready to get started. Today, I am here to announce the site is fully operational and running. You can check out the new theme, post, blogrolls, and check the latest scores.

With that, I would like to thank Rich Dansereau for coming up with the name, Jake Walters for building the majority of it, Chris Fisher for providing our temporary header last weekend, and Jim Ludes for pushing me to make it the best we can.

As there are many contributing writers to this blog, we all look forward to having you stop by to check us out and thanks for all the support that each has given us.
