Watching Barry Sanders’ highlights’ moves me to tears. This is a weird thing to admit about watching football reels. But is it, really? The creativity and determination with which he stayed on his feet to progress the ball is exceptional. Seeing highlights of him in the midst of a run where it seems as if the defender/s will tackle him and he then breaks free for a touchdown is chilling. Watching a uniquely gifted athlete excel in his or her sport affects me to the core. Being an athlete myself, I am aware of the inner motivation, dedication, and desire it takes to perform to the peak of one’s ability. Especially since I cannot run like I used to, I have the utmost appreciation and love for athletes who move exceptionally.

The determination he showed is absolutely amazing to me. To have that kind of drive is a gift. You may be a former athlete, but you show the same determination. Watching you cross the finish line for 10 years spoke volumes to me and many others. Thank you for a great life lesson. Never too old to learn!
