The Daily Inspired

I don’t swear, so I am titling this video the “Best *Dang* Top 5 Inspirational Sports Moments”! It is a great video highlighting HUGE moments in sports:

• Lou Gehrig Speech at Yankees Stadium
• Lance Armstrong Riding Again
• Pat Tillman giving up football and his life
• Jackie Robinson paving the way
• The Miracle on Ice

The things these men accomplish transcend the sports they are playing. These are the Top 5 Inspirational Sports Moments!

In the words of Nike:

From Lance Armstrong on his bike, to a six-year-old in China learning martial arts, movement is the universal language that connects us all. It’s a language of beauty, drama, tragedy and triumph. And the road to athletic greatness is not marked by perfection, but the ability to constantly overcome adversity and failure.

“It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at. Everybody gets knocked down, how quick are you going to get up?”

Apply this your life. See what happens!

I have to disclose in this post that I am a sports fan. That said, and as you may have guessed, a lot of my inspiration comes from sports figures and videos! Hope you don’t mind.

This Nike commercial inspires me to push myself and try harder. To go farther and overcome that voice in my head that tells me to stop. If you can overcome your body telling you to stop. If your mind is stronger than your flesh you can do much much more in your life.

Now that you’ve seen it comment on some of the images that hit you personally. For me it was a runner on the ground exhausted, a baby taking its first steps, and the rocket exploding in its launch.
