“God must love ordinary people because he made so many of us. Yet every single day, in every walk of life, ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things.”

Those were the wise words of Olympic champion Bob Richards, which were heard and adopted as a mantra by Jim Valvano and will be repeated by myself this evening as I try to inspire my U22 junior baseball team to a city championship after a disappointing weekend at our national championship qualifier.

We see it in sports every single day, ordinary people achieve feats that the common folk would never dream of.

Maybe it’s watching Venus Williams show she’s still got her fastball, or the Blue Jays continuing to soar above expectations, or maybe the creamer I put in this morning coffee had some extra go-go juice, but for whatever reason, today, I am ready to roll.

This is your Morning........
