That is one of my favorite video clips. I get a great warm feeling every time I see it! It reminds me of the time I was coaching a High School Basketball team in Baltimore and I took a kid onto the team who had never played before. He was terrible, but worked really hard. Towards the end of the season I let him play a quarter of the game and he led the team in rebounds and even scored his first basket. We still share a special grin whenever I see him!
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome clip! Reminds me of another really great one I saw recently just because it's so "others" focused - this one's a keeper: http://tinyurl.com/7n6oa2 (scroll down to the video)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the campaign. Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteTruth Beats Fiction Hands Down
Very moving....I suppose the coach is kicking himself for never playing Jason before!

A really fantastic story. I sure wish that news shows did more of this. For every ghastly crime there are 10+ of these kinds of stories that reignite your belief in the inherent goodness of people and the beauty and joy in life.
