“It’s just another challenge”

I connect with this video on so many levels, and hope you take the time to enjoy and savor this young man’s golf journey. 

Sports can be very important to a person with special needs. As a parent of a teen, with his own set of challenges, I can tell you that passions for excellence run deep. Special Olympics is one way he’s found to learn, compete, and believe more in himself.

I invite you to join him, other Special Olympians, and the Scottsdale Police Department at the Claim Jumper on 70th Street and Shea, between 5 and 9 p.m. tonight, for the  annual Tip-a-Cop fundraiser for the Scottsdale Special Olympics program.  It’s just one way you can help kids and adult participate more in sports.

Sports are a great teacher of life, and as DJ Gregory shares in this video, one of the most important lessons we can learn is:

“If I fall, I fall. It’s just another challenge. You get back up, you learn from your mistakes, and you don’t do it again.”
