When I was younger, my brother and I would always watch the Olympics together. It was a time for us to spend quality time together and the perfect opportunity for us to celebrate our pride in being Americans by cheering on the athletes who represented us in Team USA. Now that we are both adults and have our own children, we are seizing the opportunity to instill this same pride in our own boys.
Many people don’t realize the tremendous sacrifices that the athletes of Team USA have made in order to compete in the Olympic games at Sochi. Not only is it an enormous expense, but they also give up personal time with friends and family in order to practice tirelessly day after day in order to be able to compete at the top of their game. Young Olympians lose out on going to the mall with their friends or just enjoying some of the things that other adolescents in America do regularly.
This year, AT&T is a proud sponsor of Team USA and the U.S. Paralympic Team at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games! As part of their #ItsOurTime campaign, they would like for you to join them in celebrating the sacrifices made by the athletes of Team USA, such as their tenacity and determination. These are all traits that we should all aspire to have in our daily lives and now it’s our time to show our support!

YOU CAN CHECK OUT MY VIDEO CHANT IN SUPPORT OF TEAM USA HERE!
The app is available in both the iTunes or Google Play app stores which means that we can all join in to have our collective chants added to an interactive wall of support that will be seen digitally and on television. The whole world will hear us chanting for Team USA!
