Duke and University of Central Florida played in a second round NCAA tournament matchup this year. Duke, one of the best basketball teams in the country, was nearly defeated by overwhelming underdog UCF. The score was 78-77.
I want you to listen to this video of UCF‘s locker room after the game. UCF basketball coach, Johnny Dawkins, addresses his heart shattered team as they face the immediate reality of barely achieving their goal of defeating the ominous Duke.
When was the last time you felt like that basketball team?
When was the last time you poured your heart and soul into something and lost?
When was the last time you gave it everything you have yet to come up short?
That’s the beauty of this. Giving it everything you have everything. Working together as a team for a common goal I’m coming up short.
I don’t know about you, but this fired me up!!
