The Olympic athletes continue to amaze me.
Every two years (Counting the Winter Olympics, obviously) we are treated to athleticism at its finest from swimming to a record number of gold medals or keeping the spirit up after failing to make it to finals.
In between reports of that green diving well and what in the world exactly happened to Ryan Lochte, the average athlete puts his or her best face on and hopes for the best.
I hope many young Americans watch the Olympics to see what it is like to keep going strong after set backs and failures. And, how to remain humble (For the most part) when beating out everyone else.
Too much complaining can always overshadow a perfect opportunity for a little free inspiration.
Take advantage.
