This happened to me in school as I was running. Both of my hamstrings popped at the same time. Worst pain I’ve ever felt and couldn’t move my legs. This man is a legend.

I had an assembly about this. Motivates me to keep going as well. I could see how devastated he was, but he continued on because of motivation. That’s what I aim for. Confidence.

Salute for his dad, even though this fastest runner lost. He didn't care but he cares for love inside. Him.

[CpT_PrInCeSs]

The fact that he just broke down when his father got there says it all! 🥺❤️

I've felt that but in my arm because of my training for the athlete, I was struggling and suffering in pain that I can't lift it an inch. I use my left hand to use for training and kept going. I came home in the night and my parents is waiting so I told my parents about my arm and should take me to hospital for treatment but the game is tomorrow and should be there in the morning, so I refuse and sleep praying to god for treatment, and eventually my arm is slightly hurt but still not treated so.. I placed 3th in the Athlete. This is a true story when I was a 2nd year highschooler.

I remember bursting into tears when one of those inspirational speakers came in and showed this at my school. First time I’d ever felt such intense sad emotion. Sure I’d cried plenty of times before that but this was different. Just something about seeing him crying on his dad’s shoulder got to me.
