Those are great figures and teams you mentioned. I love taking a look back at the iconic figures of past and how those names and their stories still resonate with newer generations today. Thanks for your thoughts, Dave! @Dave: That’s what I love about the inspiration of sports figures for me, it impacts more than just the sport, but many different aspects of my life.

Sounds like you (and me) have both had points where sports and athletes can provide some added push to keep going. There are many lessons you can learn from sports and if you find the people that motivate you, it's a great way to apply some of those principles to other areas of your life. For me, I really love the 1980 Olympic hockey team and their story of accomplishing great feats by working as a team. The story of Hank Gathers untimely passing and how that drove LMU and Bo Kimble was another one that really is close to home for me. Days of Grace by Arthur Ashe is amazing. There are many great thinkers out there in the sports world and it's fun to hear their tales. Good points Sonny-
