Michael Jordan Hits a Soft Spot
-
I have been an athlete my entire life. I have played all the sports available to me, except for hockey, only because it takes a lot of commitment to learn how to ice skate and shoot a puck which is not as easy as it seems. The concept of working my ass off was one that was always at the top of my mind.
No matter what you do, not matter what the goal is, if you don’t work hard enough, you won’t succeed. Michael Jordan has released a new commercial through NIKE that has really hit me. The effect of this commercial hopefully will be huge for the young kids out there. As a more mature young adult, I clearly understand everything that Michael Jordan says in this “Become Legendary” commercial. I hope that the young ones understand it the same way.
Maybe they won’t understand…. or maybe they are just making excuses…

This add spoke volumes to me. While I’ve never been anything like Mike in terms of sports, I think of everything I have ever accomplished in my military career. It took blood, sweat, tears and impenetrable resolve. With all the hype that surrounds young star athletes, I hope all children can take this message to heart. Nothing is ever given to you, anything worth while takes practice, and being the best takes commitment, sacrifice and unwavering discipline. The Michael Jordan’s of the world are few and far between. Each generation needs a legend that can “be like Mike”.
