I’m a UConn grad. You might say our men’s basketball team had a pretty good weekend.
(On mobile, go to https://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=14952647)
It was somewhere around the 25th time I watched this clip that I noticed Jalen Adams right before he took this shot. For a fraction of a second, he is completely defeated.
When you go through trying times, you don’t stop trying. – UConn Men’s Basketball Coach Kevin Ollie
Maybe this quote ran through his head right before he took the 62-foot shot that kept their NCAA Tournament hopes alive.
What I’m taking away from this video and this team, aside from chest-bursting pride to be a Husky, is a reminder to keep trying. Maybe that project just got a little more complicated. Keep trying. Maybe you just got some bad news back from a client. Keep trying.
It’s Monday. Get going.
