In this day and age, what does it mean to be a man? Who and what defines what being a man is? Is it having the biggest pay check? the most toys? getting the most women? having the most fun? Is it none of these? Is it a combination?

We have all heard plenty about Michael Phelps and his domination of the pool, but what most people probably didn’t hear about is Matt Emmons. Matt Emmons is considered one of the premier sport shooters in the world. He’s won numerous events, but seems to choke at the Olympics. In Athens in ‘04 on his very last shot he fired at the wrong target, resulting in a slip from 1st to 8th. In Beijing this year, looking for sweet redemption, on his last shot Matt’s finger slipped and pulled the trigger prematurely causing an errant shot and again costing him the gold.
What I highlight however is the fact that back in ‘04 Matt lost the Gold…but managed to pick up something else, The Girl. He met his now wife Katerina Emmons while drowning his sorrows in a cold one at the bar in ‘04. So despite the let down from years of preparation, Matt was still smooth enough to get the girl. Kudos Matt.
