Shaun White, Bode Miller, the hockey team, the ice skater who fell down and then got up and finished the program — you add your favorite story — each day there is another wonderful story about courage, persistence, victory, disappointment and defeat. Along with countless athletes we’ve never heard of who have trained for years in sports we can’t play or really understand — if we’ve even heard of them ! Take a few minutes and ask your team: How would you describe the spirit of what you have seen? In what ways is it similar to the world of sport you know? In what ways is it different? What can you learn from these games that can make you a better person? Are these Olympics an example of “Winning More Than The Game?”
