John Francis, Count McCormack, KSG, KSS, KHS (14 June 1884–16 September 1945) was a world-famous Irishtenor, (who became a naturalised American citizen before returning to live in Ireland), celebrated for his performances of the operatic and popular song repertoires, and renowned for his diction and breath control. He was also a Papal Count.
Early life
Count McCormack was born in Athlone, County Westmeath, Ireland, the fourth of eleven children of Andrew McCormack and Hannah Watson on 14 June 1884, and was baptised in St. Mary's Church, Athlone, on 23 June 1884. His parents were employed at the Athlone Woollen Mills.
McCormack received his early education from the Marist Brothers in Athlone, and he later attended Summerhill College, Sligo. He sang in the choir of the old St. Peters church in Athlone under his choirmaster Michael Kilkelly. When the family moved to Dublin, he sang in the choir of St Mary's Pro-Cathedral where he was discovered by Vincent O'Brien. In 1903 he won the coveted gold medal of the Dublin Feis Ceoil. He married Lily Foley in 1906 and they had two children, Cyril and Gwen.
John McCormack is a former Australian racing driver. Originally from Tasmania, McCormack became one of the leading Formula 5000 racers in Australia during the 1970s.
As well as open-wheelers McCormack drove sports sedans, winning the 1974 Toby Lee Sports Sedan Series driving his highly modified Charger-Repco V8 which underneath the Charger shell had specifications virtually identical to those of his Formula 5000 car.
In 1979 McCormack was one of the first drivers to race a Chevrolet Camaro (filling in for fellow F5000 racer Kevin Bartlett who was nursing a broken leg) at the Hardie-Ferodo 1000 at Bathurst. After numerous problems with the big Chev during practice, McCormack and co-driver Bob Forbes started 60th (out of 63), and were a DNF after just 62 laps when the 350ci V8 failed.
John McCormack was inducted into the Tasmanian Sporting Hall of Fame for motor racing.

Sure it helps to be a pro rider like Dani Arman, but even the best riders (especially endurance types) need a little help once in a while. Dani came into our session with on-point pumping technique. This helped her progress quickly and safely to jumping. If you follow our channel, you already know that pumping and jumping require identical skills and movement.
