Let the Olympic Commercials begin!

If you’ve been watching TV lately, especially NBC or its affiliates you’ve probably noticed that the Olympic commercials have started to hit the airwave BIG TIME!

This Olympics, TD Ameritrade is sponsoring 2x US Olympic Fencing Champion Mariel Zagunis and featuring her in its Olympic campaign along with Olympic Champions Natalie Coughlin, David Oliver, Jonathan Horton and David Boudia.

The above picture is featured on their website at: https://www.tdameritrade.com/olympicteam/index.html

There is also an accompanying commercial which just started airing!  Great for fencing and Mariel!

GO TEAM USA!

Speaking of US London bound athletes,  please follow me on FB http://www.facebook.com/timmorehouseusa and check out my new book American Fencer at http://www.americanfencer.com

American Fencer is more than a swashbuckling romp through the diverse subculture of the ancient sport of fencing—it’s the story of what it takes to overcome expectations of your peers and the world, as well as the self-expectations that can lead to failure.  Olympic medalist and U.S. National Champion Tim Morehouse’s memoir is a story of teamwork and individualism, monastic dedication and high-stakes competition—the difference between a dream and its demise separated by 120 milliseconds at the tip of the sword.

Whether or not you’ve ever picked up a foil, epee or saber, Tim’s story speaks to the underdog in all of us—the shoestring self-start with belief, dedication, and little else. American Fencer is the story of the American dream.

I will be having a book launch event in NYC on Tuesday, April 24 and you can find the invite at www.americanfencer.com/booklaunch (hope you can join me!)  Tickets are $75 dollars and will include a signed copy of the book, drinks and hors d’oeuvres with proceeds going to support my foundation Fencing-in-the-Schools.

The book will head into bookstores starting after the London Games so right now you can get online, at a few fencing outlets (in the near future) and at some of my upcoming appearances over the next few months.

Thank you all for your support!
