Hi, I really like your blog and was wondering whether you would be intersted in contributing a post on sports psychology to my martial arts blog 'Digital Warrior' at some point. If you did, in addition to having an 'about the author' section at the bottom of the post with links to your blog, I could also add a one way link to your blog from the martial arts directory I am setting up at http://www.esotericmartialarts.com/kungfusearch
hope to hear from you soon, bye.
