Sheryl Scopes Role Model

One of my favorite quotes is “Don’t stress. Do your best. Forget the rest,” because it reminds me not to fear things that are coming my way. It reminds me to just stay positive and do what is best for me. I also think that this quote can relate to the book Anthem because Equality has has feared in most of his life, but when he learns to break away from that fear he finally feels free.

I like this quote because there are a lot of times in sports where there is a guy that may seem bigger or have more strength but that never stopped him. Personally, if I was in a football or basketball game and we were down on points I would have loved to have a coach or teammate use this quote because it is really motivational and uplifting. It personally motivates me because knowing that even people

She’s known as the “Female Michael Jordan”. Her history shows that she plays basketball amazingly well. She is a woman that has made history. She shows that she keeps going even when times get rough. She, is Sheryl Swoopes, the first woman to be signed into the WNBA.

“Success comes after you conquer your biggest obstacles and hurdles.” I like that quote by Stephen Curry, because I conquer a lot of difficulties In my own life. Stephen had some obstacles in is basketball career that hurt his team, taken him away from the game as their lead player. I am going to tell you about my favorite NBA player.

There are many reasons that people use this quote and those just happen to be the best reasons to use this quote in your speeches. There was a big reason that Lombardi decided to use this quote in his super bowl, speech to the packers in the 60’s, that reason being it got his players motivated and wanting to go out and win the game because there was nothing better than winning in sports. The other reasons that this should stick with

“How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.” –Lou Holtz. While this quote is directed towards sports, it also speaks to those who are not athletes. As in football, if something great is happening after a past of struggle, one should not become lazy and let this amazing thing slip away. Also, if a situation seems hopeless, how one reacts to it represents who he or she is as a person. A person can give up and give himself no chance despite what the outcome may be in the end.

    One quote a person says can change the rest of one's’ life.  More specifically, Bo Jackson, famous National Football League running back and Major League Baseball player has had his fair share of both success and well spoken quotes.  Jackson had the ability to be a hall of famer in both of the sports, as he was one of the hardest workers to play the game and refused to be satisfied with anything less than superp.  Bo Jackson’s once said,” Set your goals high and don’t stop till you get there,” contained some of the most inspirational words to flow out of a person’s mouth.  This quote demands the people to set their goals high, work relentlessly until their goal is achieved, and to be ambitious.

I chose this quote by Stephen Curry to illustrate the meaning behind it, even though there were plenty more I could have Chosen. I also chose this quote as result of it being by my favorite athlete, Stephen Curry. Above all, it is because it’s a basketball quote, which is my favorite sport. I read the quotes by him, then I thought about it and realized that this one has a lot of meaning behind it.

“You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life”. My dad would continuously tell me this quote during the tough losses and challenges of my high school softball years. During my freshman year, I was part of my school's varsity softball team, the Lady Lions. Being the youngest player on a team of juniors and seniors, it was a profound accomplishment. A few practices into the season, it had been apparent that many of the players on the team had antipathy towards the coach. Having a great relationship with the coach and being the daughter of the assistant coach, consequently, I was stuck between supporting my coaches or becoming closer with my teammates. Ultimately, seven players decided to quit the team- in fact,

Michael Jordan once said, “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” From being cut by his varsity high school coach, to becoming a six time NBA champion and worldwide icon, Michael Jordan knows a thing or two about failure and hard work. In my pre-teen years failure was not a big deal to me but when the Under Armour top 100 basketball camp came around, failing would teach me lessons that I have used ever since. It was a normal day from your average eleven year old.

“I’ve failed over and over in my life, that is why i succeed.” Michael Jordan was cut from his high school varsity basketball team. He didn't just give up after being cut, he turned it into motivation to work harder. He came back the next year and made his varsity basketball team. For that reason being, losing is a good thing to experience.

Cardinal Rule 1: Never give up. I know this sounds cliche but this rule is very important in order to survive let alone thrive in today’s society. Basketball is a big reason why I never give up, it has taught me to keep going when times are tough, when I’m tired, or when I feel like I’m all out of gas.

Michael Jordan once said, “I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Through the years in my life, I have made myself refer back to this saying several times whenever I fail at something. One time, however, is more significant than all of the others.

“ Surround yourself with the dreamers, the doers, the believers, and thinkers; but most of all surround yourself with those who see greatness within you even when you don’t see it yourself.” said by Simone Biles. This has to be one of the most inspirational and influential quotes ever. She is saying that even when your mind says otherwise, we must have confidence. And, when we don’t we need to have others there to tell us we can do it and that we are amazing. Therefore, we must build many helpful and bright friends to help us in those times. Overall, We must inclose yourself with those who believe we can do

There will be periods in your life where someone will say something or do something to make you feel bad. But in those cases sometimes who ever said that to you or did it to you that will stick with you for the rest of your life. Because you take things to heart and it sinks and sinks every time you think about it which makes you work harder at whatever you do. But one quote I won’t ever forget is one that Maya Angelou wrote “I’ve learned that people will forget what you do, what you said but they won’t ever forget how you make them feel”. Another awesome quote that I like is by Ray Lewis “Don’t Be Afraid to Be Great” So although people try to down you and hurt you always remember to be great at whatever you do.
