?If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you’re stuck and you don’t know how to rise, don’t look outside yourself. Look inside. Don’t let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the Champion Within will burst forth to propel you toward victory.?
And Team USA did just that! You are all fine young men whose family, friends, coaches, school mates and the USA are very proud of!
Good luck in the Mexico game!
