Just keep going!

You’re always going to run into obstacles and adversity, but if you stop moving, you’ve essentially given up.

Jimmy Valvano was the coach of the NC State NCAA basketball team who beat Houston in 1983 to win the National Championship. To call them underdogs is an understatement. They had to win the ACC tournament just to qualify for the NCAA tourney, which was a huge undertaking in itself. Some argue it was the best ending to an NCAA Championship in the 20th Century.

NC State beat a team with some future NBA All Stars and Hall off Famers.  He had some talented guys on his team but nowhere near the caliber of Houston.  They just believed in themselves and never gave up.

Listen to what he says about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. #nevergiveup
