I came across this Nike Commercial on the net and was floored. As only a father can, Earl Woods explains how Tiger grew to be the man he is. The theme is every dedicated, living dad can make a difference, one child at a time.
I came across this video on YouTube and had to share. It is another inspirational video about a person who overcomes obstacles others couldn’t even imagine. The story is about Patrick Henry Hughes, and his dedicated family.

Enjoy the weekend, and enjoy this inspirational video for Friday.
Here’s another video that my Father told me about. It has been all over ESPN this past week, but I’d thought I’d post it anyway. Sometimes it is hard to do the right thing in life. This video is an example of how important doing the right thing can be. Sometimes sportsmanship means more than the sport….ENJOY your weekend.
It’s Friday! Here is an inspirational video of Tony Melendez that not only warms the heart, it inspires the soul as well. It is truly amazing what the mind can accomplish when it has no alternative. We always speak of the power of the mind here, and this is as good as an example as you will ever see. Enjoy your weekend!
