inspirational quote- Jesse Owen
Jesse Owens, One of the best-known Olympic champions, who won four gold medals and set three more world records in those Olympics, had this to say:
“There is something that can happen to every athlete and every human being: the instinct to slack off, to give in to pain, to give less than your best. The instinct to hope you can win through luck or through your opponent not doing his best instead of going to the limit and past your limit where victory is always found. Defeating those negative instincts that are out to defeat us is the difference between winning and losing -- and we face that battle every day of our lives."
