don meyer

hola,

i just finished watching the espy awards, which i look forward to every year. samuel l. jackson did a pretty good job as host but i thought jt did a better job last year. the lakers won best team baby (obviously). anyways, the whole show made me wish i was an athlete like it does every year. however that would have not worked out because my hopes and dreams of becoming an athlete fell into shambles in the 7th grade when i accidentally shot the ball in the other team's basket (btw, the ball didn't go in although it almost did). hmm yeah. but man oh man, the show gets me every year and i tear up like a baby watching those inspirational clips. this one in particular really hit me hard. i mean, literally, tear down my cheek status. the speech is not shown here and this is a longer version of the clip but one thing he said that stuck with me was that he tried to never complain, whine, or make any excuses. if i was in his situation, i'd be doing just the opposite and its crazy how i find myself complaining about the most trivial things. coach don meyer truly deserves the jimmy v award. i just wanted to share this with the few who read my blog because i'm pretty sure it'll encourage you too. 

adios,

yuri
