Why should I continue the things I’m doing??

August 30 I’ve launched a website where ALL Skippers and Coaches in the WHOLE World can participate to share their thought and communicate with others about the present and future rules for the improved “FISAC-IRSF-Rulebook 2005-2006”.

Reason for doing this: After the World Championships in July in Australia there were a lot of persons who had their idea’s and visions on how things should have been done and how to improve this GREAT Sport.

I’ve send the URL (http://www.xs4all.nl/~eherber/ropeskip/Rules-2006/) of this site to over 500 (!!) skippers, coaches and organizations, who I have in my address-book. You are one of them!!!

And invited you to take part in this possibility…….

Only five (!!) provided input so far over the last three weeks:

-          Geert Hoste from Belgium.

-          Roger Yue Jr. from Singapore.

-          Erica Heinz from the USA.

-          ARSA (= Australian Rope Skipping Association)

-          Pieter Himpe from Belgium.

And one other said that she would look into it:

-          Lorraine Bannerman from Australia.

Various people said to me (Down Under) that I must keep up what I’m doing, because it brings our Sport further.

But to be honest: WHY SHOULD I?!?!

Because the only thing I’m doing is spending too much time for people who just put their priorities on something else then bringing Rope Skipping to a higher level.

And probably would complain afterwards that what is presented doesn’t work because of……..

And I know I’ve said to several people that my Life’s-philosophy is: ”When you do something: Do it for yourself!! Because when you think it must be done, then it is OK doing it! And when others benefit from it, then it is even better.”.

So what I’m asking is this:

DON’T send me an E-mail or message saying that I should continue!!

BUT send me an E-mail with your input OR don’t complain about the Rules at the next competition / occasion we meet…..

And now I go to bed………….
