Jacob Rodriguez deserves mention. High School QB/RB/TE changes schools from Virginia to walk on at Texas Tech as a Heisman candidate and likely NFL player. Add in his wife, a West Point Graduate flying Helicopters. He's got a lot going for him in all that and more as you dig into his story.
I cried when Rory finally won the masters. I’ve been rooting for him for the last decade. So happy for him. Don’t know why exactly. Proof that as long as you stick with it, respond not react, and keep your cool through the ups and downs you can achieve excellence
Great post Brad! My fav has to be "you are never out until you are out". It's easy to resign your self to what looks inevitable. There are so many stories like this, and if you are lucky enough to witness it, it's so inspiring. Examples are everywhere, sometimes on the biggest stages. (Like the recent Seahawks come back against the Rams, down 16 points in Q4).
(PS: you have a word missing in your last sentence I think: "You never what will happen." I think the word "Know" is missing)
You missed Robert Kubica's victory at Le Mans. https://petrolicious.com/blogs/articles/le-mans-24h-glory-completes-the-legend-of-robert-kubica

I'd add in Merab Dvalishvili, risked it all, lost the world title, but still made history as an all time great
Thanks, Brad. I shared this with my two teenage athlete grandsons. Valuable lessons.
