Inspiring stories of great sportsmanship do not occur everyday. When they do, they can capture the hearts of those who witness them and inspire them to do amazing things. This form of sportsmanship can lead to a better world for all of us. Not only that, we must make it a point to bring this to more people.
Whenever we talk about inspiring sports motivations, the tendency is for people to make reference to elite sports performers who excel at what they do. We think of the world record broken. We think of the gold medal won. We think of the game won. Not many people look deeper and seek out deeper and more personal inspiring stories that tell the tales of how ordinary and even severely handicapped people beating all odds to reach inspired status. Very often these inspiring stories are achieving the things we take for granted.
In this video of inspiring stories of true sportsmanship, we are reminded of what sports is all about. It is more than just the winning and losing. It is also about the character that can be developed. Sports is an amazing vehicle for all of us to learn what true values and character is. For the young, it is even more important to use such moments to learn about how we should value character and values over simply just beating your opponents. Sports is also about how adversaries can become friends.
Beyond the playing fields and after the final whistles, there lies a greater world that our kids must navigate. They will certain do well if they can learn the proper values of life through sports. In this video, notice how the opponents came over unrequested to fulfill the dreams of an opponent. Their courage to come forth and sharpness to intervene certainly speaks well of their character. Even supposed adults in the umpires and coaches did not think of how they could resolve the problem.
Sit back and enjoy one of the most inspiring stories of true sportsmanship that we can all learn to imitate.
