Resilience from a football play
𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳.
During last night's Orange Bowl, Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love gave us all a lesson in resilience.
With a knee brace on and defenders trying to tackle him more than once, he refused to quit. He pivoted, pushed forward, and stretched with everything he had to get the ball over the line. It was one of the most ambitious, focused, and determined touchdowns I’ve seen in a long time. (video in the comments)
Leaders, doesn’t this feel familiar?
Adversity comes at us from every side—tough setbacks, relentless challenges, the weight of expectations. All at once! It’s natural to feel overwhelmed. It is reasonable to succumb to the first or second challenge because enduring is exhausting.
But like Love on that play, you’ve got more strength than you realize.
When the odds seem stacked against you, remember: persistence wins. Believe in your preparation, lean into your endurance, and trust yourself to be strong through all the odds, great or small.
Challenges do not define us. How we respond does.
Many people say, "Challenges build character." I have said for years that challenges 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘢𝘭 character.
Stay in the fight—you’re closer to the goal than you think.
