Lawyers Who Cycle Race in Nashville
The flag flew from the second story of the Collins home over the long weekend in honor of our service men and women, past and present. I have a namesake nephew currently stationed in Iraq. To him, and all service men and women currently in harm’s way, thank you for your service and may God keep and protect you.
One of the Memorial Day activities over the long holiday weekend included the Edgar Soto Memorial Stage Races held in Nashville and the surrounding communities. About 500 cyclists competed in the Races. Cyclists were from all walks of life including the legal profession. One of the competing teams wore Juris® jerseys and another wore the green morepartnerincome™ jerseys. The morepartnerincome team is comprised of juniors and under-23 cyclists. It is a development team that will undoubtedly produce some world-class competitors.
Stephen Collins, CEO of Juris, Inc., (pictured above) has been the driving force behind the Edgar Soto Memorial races and their growing popularity. You can learn more about the event by reading the attached article that appeared in The City Paper on Tuesday, May 22, 2007. A copy of the article is posted on the blog Mastersracing.com. For the attached article, go to the post titled Edgar Soto Stage Race.
Cycling as a popular activity for lawyers has grown significantly over the last 10 years due in part to the success of Lance Armstrong, the seven-time Tour de France winner from Texas. There are parallels between competitive cyclists and successful managing partners. In cycling, as in law firms, measurement improves performance. Competitive cyclists use sophisticated computers installed on their bikes to meticulously record and measure every aspect of their training and racing to increase their odds of winning.
Stephen and I have talked about the possibility of having a morepartnerincome cycling camp for lawyers involved in law firm management. It could be a fun and effective way to bring lawyers together to network and learn how to better manage their firm. If you would be interested in a morepartnerincome cycling camp for attorneys, send me an e-mail at morepartnerincome@juris.com.
I can promise you world class cycling coaches as well as workshop sessions that will send you back to the law firm with profitable ideas and insights for increasing law firm performance and per-partner income.
