Carlo has been busy since the completion of the 2000 Olympics.

He is still training equally as hard as he ever has, for the lead up to the Olympics later this year.

Olympian Diaries:

Carlo has written a series of Olympic Diaries in the lead-up to Athens for the Australasian Taekwondo magazine (check out www.sportzblitz.net). Here they are free for you to download and read, courtesy of sportzblitz.net ...

Carlo works for Hall's Taekwondo in Melbourne, as instructor and coach to many up and coming Taekwondo athletes. Carlo also trains at Hall's and is personally coached by Martin Hall, who was an Olympic coach for the 2000 Olympics.

Carlo devotes a lot of his time to children and teenagers too. Whether it is through instructing, Coach Approach teaching programs or his weekly sessions at Essendon Boys school. Carlo has also joined the "Life's a Ball" program, which is run through "Here for Life", a youth suicide prevention charity.

Through Life's a Ball, Carlo goes around to schools with other professional athletes to teach kids about dreams, passions and believing in themselves. He inspires students everywhere, and encourages them to tackle life's frustrations head on, just like he has had to.

One of the most exciting projects in Carlo's career is the documentary that is being filmed on him. Carlo was approached after the 2000 Olympics by a Melbourne based production company to film his amazing journey to the next Olympics. The object is to show audiences everywhere what a hard but remarkable road it is to get to the Olympics. Especially that of an athlete in lower profile sport like Taekwondo. Carlo Massimino will be a household name with the worldwide release of the documentary sometime in 2003.

For Carlo and the world, the journey has begun ... just follow the noise!
