Billy Mills describes how he used the law of attraction to achieve his goal at the 1964 Olympics. This is just a small insight into the mental preparation as an athlete. Visualization, mental imagery, mental rehearsal; there are many terms to describe it but they all circle back to the basic law of attraction. I love this quote by Billy Mills, "The subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between reality and imagination."

This video upload is a copy of the January 21, 1984 episode YLS114 of Ralph Edwards' "This Is Your Life," in honor of the legendary Olympic champion Billy Mills. The original VHS tape was given to Ernie Shelby as a gift by the producers of the show.
Ernie is a very close friend of mine whom I've known for years as a composer in the music industry. It wasn't until he asked me to make a digital version of this video that I became aware he had formerly been a world-class athlete.
Ernie had been invited to appear as a guest on the show because of his past team membership with Billy Mills. As it turned out, when track coach Bill Easton of Kansas University went to the Haskell Indian Institute to recruit Billy Mills out of high school, his goal was to assure the Native-American distance runner that coming to Kansas would not be a negative racial experience. Since Ernie was an African American, the #1 ranked Long Jumper in the world AND the KU track team captain, he was the obvious choice to accompany Coach Easton on that mission.
Billy did enter KU and eventually became close friends with Ernie Shelby, and remain friends to this day.
This particular This Is Your Life show also features a 1964 videotape of the original TV broadcast of the amazingly dramatic finish of Billy winning Olympic Gold in the 10,00 Meters. (If you search on YouTube you can probably find some other versions of that broadcast.) Many of Billy's close family members, Coach Easton and movie star Robbie Benson (who portrays Billy in the movie "Running Brave") were also guests on the show. This video records the first reunion between the Ernie, Billy and their former coach in almost 20 years. Enjoy!

2014 marks the 50th anniversary of what has been called one of the greatest upsets in Olympic history. At the 1964 Olympics, Billy Mills shocked the world and came from behind to win the gold medal in the 10k race. At the time, he set a world record of 28 minutes, 24.4 seconds and is still the only American to ever win a gold medal in the 10k event. His win was an upset that has been called the second greatest moment in Olympic history. In Lakota culture, someone who achieves great success has a 'giveaway' to thank the support system of family and friends who helped him achieve his goal. As part of his effort to give back to his community, Billy helped found Running Strong for American Indian Youth and became the organization's National Spokesperson. Today Billy travels over 300 days every year. He visits American Indian communities throughout the U.S. and speaks to youth about healthy lifestyles and taking pride in their heritage.

William Mervin Mills or "Billy" Mills, also known as Makata Taka Hela (born June 30, 1938), is the second Native American to win an Olympic gold medal. He accomplished this feat in the 10,000 meter run at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, becoming the only American ever to win the Olympic gold in this event. His 1964 victory is considered one of the greatest of Olympic upsets. A former United States Marine, Billy Mills is a member of the Oglala Lakota (Sioux) Tribe.
William Mervin Mills was born in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, and was raised on the impoverished Pine Ridge Indian Reservation for Oglala Sioux people. He was orphaned when he was twelve years old and was raised by his grandmother. Mills took up running while attending the Haskell Institute, which is now known as Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas. Both a boxer and a runner in his youth, Mills gave up boxing to focus on running.
He attended the University of Kansas on an athletic scholarship. He was named a NCAA All-America cross-country runner three times and in 1960 he won the individual title in the Big Eight cross-country championship. The University of Kansas track team won the 1959 and 1960 outdoor national championships while Mills was on the team.

This video upload is a copy of the January 21, 1984 episode YLS114 of Ralph Edwards' "This Is Your Life," in honor of the legendary Olympic champion Billy Mills. The original VHS tape was given to Ernie Shelby as a gift by the producers of the show.
Ernie is a very close friend of mine whom I've known for years as a composer in the music industry. It wasn't until he asked me to make a digital version of this video that I became aware he had formerly been a world-class athlete.
Ernie had been invited to appear as a guest on the show because of his past team membership with Billy Mills. As it turned out, when track coach Bill Easton of Kansas University went to the Haskell Indian Institute to recruit Billy Mills out of high school, his goal was to assure the Native-American distance runner that coming to Kansas would not be a negative racial experience. Since Ernie was an African American, the #1 ranked Long Jumper in the world AND the KU track team captain, he was the obvious choice to accompany Coach Easton on that mission.
Billy did enter KU and eventually became close friends with Ernie Shelby, and remain friends to this day.
This particular This Is Your Life show also features a 1964 videotape of the original TV broadcast of the amazingly dramatic finish of Billy winning Olympic Gold in the 10,00 Meters. (If you search on YouTube you can probably find some other versions of that broadcast.) Many of Billy's close family members, Coach Easton and movie star Robbie Benson (who portrays Billy in the movie "Running Brave") were also guests on the show. This video records the first reunion between the Ernie, Billy and their former coach in almost 20 years. Enjoy!

2014 marks the 50th anniversary of what has been called one of the greatest upsets in Olympic history. At the 1964 Olympics, Billy Mills shocked the world and came from behind to win the gold medal in the 10k race. At the time, he set a world record of 28 minutes, 24.4 seconds and is still the only American to ever win a gold medal in the 10k event. His win was an upset that has been called the second greatest moment in Olympic history. In Lakota culture, someone who achieves great success has a 'giveaway' to thank the support system of family and friends who helped him achieve his goal. As part of his effort to give back to his community, Billy helped found Running Strong for American Indian Youth and became the organization's National Spokesperson. Today Billy travels over 300 days every year. He visits American Indian communities throughout the U.S. and speaks to youth about healthy lifestyles and taking pride in their heritage.

Sunshine
Sunshine
I woke up this morning
There's no way you could have told me
We'd no longer be in love
Some harsh words were spoken
Then I said a few things that I did not mean
And you took me at my word
And sometimes we may disagree
But you bring me all your sunshine
Jealousy might get the best of me
Still, you bring me all your sunshine
No shades of gray standing in our way
Because you bring me all your sunshine
'Cause your love's true and you get me through
And you bring me all your sunshine
Life is kind of funny
One minute everything around you
Seems to go your way
But I am lost without you, honey
I want to take back what I said to you
'Cause I can't go another day
'Cause sometimes we may disagree
But you bring me all your sunshine
Jealousy might get the best of me
Still, you bring me all your sunshine
No shades of gray standing in our way
Because you bring me all your sunshine
'Cause your love's true and you get me through
And you bring me all your sunshine
And I can't go another day
I don't want to be without you, baby
I know we can
We can work it out
We can work it out
Don't you want to talk about it?
'Cause sometimes we may disagree
But you bring me all your sunshine
Jealousy might get the best of me
Still, you bring me all your sunshine
No shades of gray standing in our way
Because you bring me all your sunshine
'Cause your love's true and you get me through
And you bring me all your sunshine
You can talk to me
I want to talk to you
You can talk to me
We can work it out
