Perseverance

So yesterday I got tickets to go with my cousin to one of the Olympic Semi-Finals for the women's basketball and I saw something amazing. The perseverance by the Australian team was very impressive and even going into the last 2mins with a 12 point difference they weren't giving up and they kept fighting until the game was over. Another example was the GB hockey team who have had a great tournament but sadly were defeated in the Semis by Netherlands, but even when they were losing by 5 or 6 goals they kept going and delivered a great performance.

I believe there is a lesson to be learnt from all this, that you should never give up. Both those teams deserve a medal in there own for sportsmanship and I wish them both the best of luck in the bronze medal match. Even though those teams didn't win gold this year in 4 years I hope they do.

You don't need to be the best to win at something you just need to put in the most effort. There is a saying "you don't know how far you have to run to chase your dreams" and it's true but as long as you keep running then one day I promise you'll get there.
