The 6th Man
If you think your inspiration cup needs a little refilling, let this video make it overflow.
We've got ourselves a Game. by NIKE
Here's the thing that makes life so interesting.
The theory of evolution claims only the strong shall survive.
Maybe so...maybe so.
But the theory of competition says, just because they're the strong,
doesn't mean they can't get there asses kicked. That's right.
See, with every long shot come from behind, underdog will tell ya is this.
The other guy may in fact be the favorite,
the odds may be stacked against you, fair enough.
But what the odds don't know, is this isn't a math test.
This is a completly different kind of test.
One where passion has a funny way of trumping logic.
So before you step up to the starting line, before the whistle blows,
and the clock starts ticking.
Just remember out here, the results don't always add up.
No matter what the stats may say, and the experts may think,
and the commentators may have predicted. When the race is on, all bets are off.
Don't be surprised if somebody decides to flip the script and take a pass on yelling uncle.
And then suddenly as the old saying goes...we've got ourselves a game.
For our first day in Leadership class, our professor showed us that clip. With a height a little under 6 ft. and a lean body, he's obviously a sports guy. His two passions, he shared, are kids and sports. He is kind of a looker, too, with a voice that sounds so manly. Now before you go on with that 'aawwwww'', consider that he is a week away from joining his very first Ironman triathlon. *now you can proceed with the 'AWWWWWW* Yes, the guy has dedication and discipline.
He said he believes in the importance of possessing a heart of an athlete.
He said, for him, sports can teach us a lot about values we don't learn from inside a classroom.
He said, above everything, he wants to inspire us. In fact, he works for a company that carries the tagline, 'inspiration everyday'.
This term sure had started in an interesting note. Leadership from an athlete's point of view sounds refreshing.
We're done with the opening tip; the ball's in court now. Let's see what you got, Coach, errr, Prof.
