MOTIVATION: who made these rules.
Rules are made to be broken. Break them with your strength. Kathrine Switzer looked at the men’s only Boston Marathon in 1967 and thought to herself, “I can do that.” And she did. Examine what’s standing between you and your goals, dreams, aspirations — and bust through them. Follow your heart in whatever capacity. Rules only control us if we let them.
“The most notable contribution is from the American women who’ve won 23 of the 34 gold medals for America - who leads in overall medals across all countries. In addition, women team sports have out-performed their male counterparts overall.”
- Bob Costas, NBC Olympics coverage

MOTIVATION: the power of a coach.
The power of Pat Summitt. Watch this video to hear her story, her struggle and her insanely inspiring success. This women does not mess around. Crazy inspiring. Get out the tissues!
“In 38 years as head coach, every one of Pat’s players has graduated. And 74 members of the Lady Vols family have followed her path into coaching.”
Of all the lives Pat touched, along with all the lives everyone she inspired to coach have touched, just imagine how many lives that has reached in total?
What coach inspired you to keep on keepin’ on??
