Effort 1st, Results 2nd

Today i was looking around on YouTube when i came across this Nike commercial. I really liked it right off the bat and it is just fine with me if you want to make fun of me for this but i am a sucker for these kinds of videos, i really like how certain videos when combined with the right music can strike a cord in your mind or well at least in my mind i guess. To me i read a certain theme from this video, see what you think about the video…..

Okay. do you still think i am just a cheesy guy who is a sucker for these type of motivational videos? Either way is fine with me, but i’ll share what i get from this video. I believe it is all about telling the individual, not JUST the athlete competing for a title in his/her chosen sport that with enough hard work and time input to your chosen goal it can be achieved. Similar to my previous post “Does The Early Bird Get The Worm?” it shows these athletes putting in that hard work all by themselves when nobody else is watching early in the morning, then near the end of the video after all the blood, sweat and tears of weight pushing, sprinting, jumping, swimming and repeating those activities time after time   they are then able to reach their goal and shine in the spotlight in front of all their greatest fans and peers. That is what it is all about, that is why we train, that is why i am a sucker for these kinds of videos.

What did you get from the video?
