Inside DP2

Introduction to the following video from the Dartmouth sports website:
The Dartmouth Peak Performance staff talks about the program and how they go about helping Big Green student-athletes achieve their full potential on and off the field of competition.
One of the key people in the DP2 effort featured in the video is Donnie Brooks, a former college football player and coach.  For a story I freelanced about Brooks, what brought him to this point in his career and what he does with DP2, CLICK HERE.
The annual Hanover Center Old Timer's fair began Friday night and finished up yesterday afternoon. One of the highlights of the sweetest fair you can imagine – which is held in a rural area of Hanover about seven miles from campus – is the ox pull. Here's a quick look at a team of these powerful animals pulling a "sled" of cement blocks totaling 9,500 pounds. A successful pull is 72 inches. The winner yesterday pulled 10,500 pounds.

As the camera pans to the right you'll see a white house across the street. Our house is on the mountain behind that house ;-)
