Ring Force – great Olympic story for kids

Henry, whose nickname is Booker, lives in Brooklyn, NY and dreams about winning an Olympic gold medal in track and field.

Brian Brown, the author of Ring Force, is the NBC Olympics story editor and senior producer, who has won 12 Emmys and has been awarded the Olympic Golden Rings for his excellent broadcasting of the Olympic Games.

Here is what Brian Brown said about Ring Force:

“I’ve always wanted to bring Olympic stories to kids in a way that can impact them beyond the run of the games. (…) Creating a story with elements like the importance of working hard to succeed, being part of a team, living a certain spirit of excellence and opening yourself up to the larger world was important to me. The games are so much more than just victory – it’s about sportsmanship and doing your best.”

“When you believe in your dream… All is possible.”

Booker has a poster on his bedroom wall with a quote of Muhammad Ali, who said: “When you believe in your dream… All is possible.”

Applying the lessons of sports champions to kids lives is very powerful. The greatest athletes from all over the world can be role models who inspire to be better. Ring Force provides an educational concept that children between 8 and 12 years of age will find interesting and entertaining.
