More spirit than ever
In Australia we play AFL, a code of football. Any way at halftime they have the little league come on to the ground and play footy for awhile all ages from 5 to 7 years olds, in front of crowds of 40,000 people or so.
When you watch on TV, you generally dont get to see them playng, but they occasionally give a few highlights.
One day when I was watching, they showed one highlight in particular. I saw probablly the gutsiest thing I've ever seen, there was a kid who had two false legs, and he was goin after the ball with all his might, the ball was kicked to him and the force of the ball knocked him flat on his back, and to my amazement he got straight up and kept goin.
I just wish I had that much guts in life and that much determination.
That vision that is stuck in my head for ever helps drive me to do better.
