It is the event of a lifetime where all the years of hard work culminate for these athletes, representing not only their team but also their country. Barry Siff is passionate about making the USA Team Handball qualify for the Olympics since it last went to the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Sharing his journey from then to now, he joins host, Robert "Fireman Rob" Verhelst to talk about how he went from the food industry to creating a whole endurance sports business, and then transitioning to become the CEO of the USA Team Handball. He shares the lessons he learned along the way while giving us a peek into the world of these athletes. How tough is it for them to keep that peak performance? What does it take to compete in the Olympics? Barry answers these questions and more, inspiring us with that athletic spirit to commit all out to our passions.'
