Car dealerships sometimes sponsor car giveaways to promote their dealerships. They set the competition in such a difficult manner that it’s nearly impossible to win. In this case, they allow a broke college student to putt a golf ball from 94 feet into a tiny hole in a cardboard box that is just slightly bigger than a golf ball. The odds of someone making this putt are remote. Virtually no one ever wins, which is why the dealerships do it.
However, every once in a while, someone makes a full-court shot… or kicks a 40-yard field goal… or hits a hole in one… or in this case, makes the impossible putt. Let’s watch and enjoy.
Joe’s Perspective: What does this have to do with character, leadership or sportsmanship? Nothing. But, this is the week on enthusiasm. It’s great to see authentic enthusiasm. This is what winning should look like and feel like. It’s pure joy wrapped up in excitement. You can’t plan it. It’s just a raw emotion that should come out if you’re not worried about what others think of you. Sports is a great place to experience enthusiasm. I hope that you get to experience many of these moments often in your life, both on and off the field.
Your Turn: In the world of sports, what moment has produced the most amount of enthusiasm for you?
