Wins, medals, records. These are the things you remember, going first in the newspapers, on the books later. The results are printed and we are reminded every time we talk about standards and great success. Nothing to say, this is just because behind every win there, in addition to talent, sacrifice, work, persistence, tenacity.
But many sporting events that do not correspond to a victory are ignored. He says little or nothing even if they contribute to the greatness of the sport.
firm Kevin Laue is one of those that will fill the rows of the Almanac of American basketball, but certainly of great importance because exceeds the bounds of sport.
Kevin is a boy of 19 years, 2.10 m high, which next year will play in the first division of the American College tournament (NCAA). So far nothing strange, hundreds of children every year begin their college career sport. But Kevin is a special guy because he is born without a hand.
Now we think the degree of will and determination that it took this guy to stand out in a sport like basketball where the use of both hands is essential.
But love for the sport leads to this, to challenge their own limits, to achieve impossible goals. I do not know if Kevin will be able to become a professional athlete. I do not know if you manage to get his name in some book that lists record and achievements. I know, however, that a great victory has already achieved: to be an example. An example for those who have physical limitations to avoid surrendering, an example of courage, tenacity and passion for all sports.
