Determination

If you were putting together a basketball team and had the chance to pick Michael Jordan as one of your players, you would almost certainly do so. But back in 1978, Coach Clifton “Pop” Herring had that exact opportunity…and opted not to.

In 1992, British-born Derrick Redmond was in search of an Olympic medal. Which color, he cared not. He just wanted a piece of human history, and he had disciplined himself with machine-like precision his whole life to achieve that goal.

Emmitt Smith is a legend in many football circles. The record-breaking running back rushed for 164 touchdowns and scored more than 1,000 points during his career in the NFL. Those are some big numbers for #22.
