Opportunity
2007年09月12日
Dvd's have been on sale for the last couple of weeks at the Seiyu just
down the street from my apartment. I found some pretty cool movies. Movies
that my generation would consider classics. Movies like Goonies, Indiana
Jones and the temple of doom, The empire strikes back, and The last dragon
just to name a few. I would love to talk about all of the different flicks
I bought and how they stir up a lot of childhood memories, but being that
this is a blog on the Seagulls homepage, I have to tie this into football
somehow...
One flick that I've watched a few times over the last couple of weeks is
Rocky. I wasn't even born when it was first released, but I remember
watching it with my Dad on video when I was younger. I hadn't seen it for
years and I didn't remember a lot of the details in the plot, but I was
suprised to see that it was a well made film. The cinematography was great,
the music second to none, and the makers did a great job of presenting the
characters and forcing the audience to empathize with their challenges and
hardships. Not only was the film entertaining it was inspirational.
Being an athlete myself, I always find it helpful to read inspirational
books, watch inspirational documentaries or movies, etc. Just as Rocky was
challenged with different things, so am I challenged with certain things.
Just as the opportunity presented itself to him, so will I have an
opportunity to do something great. What I learned is that we have to make
the most of the chances we get. We never know if or when we will get
another chance. We have to prepare and ready ourselves for when that moment
comes.
We as a team have an opportunity to do something great this year. This
monday is another chance. Individually let's set our goals and standards
high. Do something we have never done before. Let's make the most of it....
