Team Charlotte
is a fundraising effort to support Mr.
and Mrs. James Craig (Charlotte's parents), Master Jimmy Kim (Taekwondo
Master and JKTC Coach) and Mr. John Reed (JKTC Coach) who will be
traveling to Beijing in August to support Charlotte in her Olympic
moment.
"There is a very special honor in representing your
country at the Olympic Games," says Master Jimmy Kim.
"The Olympic journey is a long one, however, you don't travel
alone. There are family, friends and a community of supporters who
help you along the way. The very presence of family and friends
can be a valuable source of comfort and strength for an athlete who
is competing so far from home," says Master Jimmy Kim.
"I was surrounded by family and friends when I went to the Olympic
Games in 1988 and I cannot imagine Mr. and Mrs. Craig not being there
when Charlotte steps out on the mat. Mr. Reed and I have had the
privilege to see Charlotte's growth and we are very proud of the
world-class athlete she's become. I am very thrilled that we will
all be there to witness her Olympic moment."

Carolyn
Lieberman Places 3rd at the Jr. World Team Trials
April 4, 2008
Des Moines,Iowa - Carolyn fought valiantly at the
Jr. World Team Trials. She won her opening bout against her first
opponent and dropped the next two bouts against two very seasoned
athletes. Next year may be Carolyn's time to shine because all of the
other girls that she competed against turn 18 next year and will be un
eligible to compete in the Junior Divisions. Carolyn fought well in
the National Qualifier the next day and broke her hand in the first bout and
fought again with a broken hand and won to qualify for the USAT Nationals
this year in Detroit this year.
