The 4 of Spades coordinate

Brad Schumacher was born March 6 (1974-03-06). Month 3 and day 6 give solar value 43, which is the 4 of Spades (The Rigid Truth). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1974 is unused. The 4 of Spades does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Brad Schumacher for United States. Quoted system copy for the 4 of Spades, not a biography of Brad Schumacher: You build enough container that change can happen without the floor disappearing. You build frameworks for understanding truth. You're organized in your thinking, structured in your beliefs. Your mind thinks in terms of principles and rules.

Brad Schumacher in the public record

Schumacher is a two-time, two-sport Olympian. He was a member of the winning relay teams at the 1996 Summer Olympics. Four years later, he was a member of the U.S. men's water polo team at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Schumacher's two gold medals came as a member of the U.S. men's swimming relay teams at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia: in the men's 4×100-meter freestyle relay and in the men's 4 × 200 m-meter freestyle relay. Although Schumacher qualified for both swimming and water polo for the 2000 Olympic Games, he chose to compete only in water polo. At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he helped the U.S. men's water polo team to a sixth-place finish. He was the top sprinter at the 2000 Olympics, with 20 sprints won. Schumacher was the first American world champion in swimming and water polo since the 1904 Olympic Games.
