I chose this video because I myself am a basketball player and through all my years, Kobe has been one of my biggest inspirations. He plays with broken figures and torn tendons without a single complaint. He truly is a great motivator for working hard for what you love. He inspires one to have strength no matter how hard you have to work to get to where you want to be. Kobe Bryant is my motivation even being retired.

This video is about the late great Jim Valvano who coached North Carolina State University from improbable odds to win the 1983 NCAA Basketball Tournament. But he is also remembered by his empowering and emotional speech at the 1993 ESPY Awards when he had just been given eight weeks to live with bone cancer. He was so inspiring and influential not just in sports, but in the entire world. He showed strong mindset because he declared we must not give up, we must never give up. The three most incredible messages from his speech were that each day we must laugh, we must think and we must move our emotions into tears. If we laugh, think and cry, to him it was a heck of day.

This video is inspirational to me
because I am a huge Disney fan and I feel much like they do in the
beginning of the clip and I need to be told what they say throughout.
Walt Disney is m hero because he had dreams and let nothing stop him,
not people telling him his dreams were unrealistic, not people telling
him he was no good, nothing stopped him. I want to be just like him,
live my dreams regardless of those that do not believe in me, I simply
need to learn to follow my dreams and live for me.

This video was chosen because it shows the hard work one person puts day in and day out. Also, he is my favorite basketball player, Kobe Bryant. His mental toughness and the way he identifies frustration and pushes it aside and gets back to normal. The way he pushes himself beyond his limits physical and mentally. I have watched him since I was young and I think the toughest and saddest time was when he tore his Achilles and to get up
and shoot two free throws on a torn Achilles showed to me his heart for the
game. The dedication, love, and sacrifice this man puts to never give up and never quit in order to win is amazing. I also enjoyed the highlights as it shows how Kobe has grown and overcame pain through his career. Never lose belief, trust, and patience and those are words from the Vigorous Worker.

If you would like to know who my inspiration is for approaching how to hunt, how to be a bowhunter, how to be the “ultimate predator”, or how to approach life, it’s this man’s philosophy right here. One of the most inspirational messages I think of everyday is “Fear is a liar.” I take this message to heart and apply it to every aspect of my life. Cameron Hanes is someone I look up to and is my idol. He never quits and always commits all of his effort in everything he does. He is also just a very humbled individual. With greatness and glory, you must also be humbled. I’ve been following Cam for a couple of years now and he is my role model. I can hype him up forever, but the reason I chose this video, was because of the message. You train to hunt, you train for a marathon, you train to be better than you were the day before. It’s a philosophy on life that I believe everyone can be better from.
