About this listen
Leo loved sports but was finding it difficult to make any improvements to his game. His sister, Lydia, wanted to help and decided that playing with their Diddly Dooper toys could be the best way.
Athlete Diddly Dooper was the best at all sports. He has a pet horse that also enjoyed exercising. The athlete would train all the time, so when he played sport with his friends, there was only ever one winner.
Training all the time meant that he was very fit and healthy, which was great, but there were some problems which began to upset the athlete. Horse did her best to help the athlete, but would it be too little and too late? Would the athlete ever be as happy as before?
Diddly Dooper Athlete is a short, fun story that aims to help children understand the importance of their actions.

Beloved German cyclist Jens Voigt isn't a superstar in the traditional sense of the word. Although he won three stages of the Tour de France - and wore the yellow jersey twice - Voigt never claimed an overall victory. He became a star because he embodies qualities that go beyond winning and losing: sacrifice, selflessness, reliability, and devotion. European and American crowds were drawn to his aggressive riding style, outgoing nature, and refreshing realness.
