Tap Your Inner VCU

We could all take a lesson from what VCU has done in this year’s ncaa tourney. I’ve been to more VCU games this year than I have in my life. My girlfriend is a huge fan thus I got to experience the fun that is the student section at home games a few times this season.
Many times during this season this team looked pretty bad. Sometimes they looked unstoppable, and other times they were somewhere in between. Such is life. They were given an opportunity and when it mattered most they ignored the negative energy and put their best foot forward.
Of course they are a team and when one guy was having an off night the other stepped up…that is the true essence of a team. What we all can look at and apply to our lives is the mentality that no matter how bad things have gotten or people saying you can’t do something….keep pushing forward. Win your bracket in life. Defeat the power conferences that are placed in front of you in your life.
The Rams have taught us that anything is possible. Richmond,VA can be one of the most demoralizing and self hating towns…trust me i know…born and raised here. I often call it the hate-oh-four. But I love my city. Watching what has happened with both Richmond but more importantly VCU has been inspirational. The true underdog story.
If you are from Richmond and not pulling for VCU..you embody the mentality that has kept this area from greatness for a long time. Support locally. And learn from the inspiration these kids….some of them homegrown talent …have provided us through this journey.
Never give up on your goals. Sky is the limit. Most importantly believe in yourself and ignore the naysayers(or if you do listen use it as motivation).
I’m a UNC hoops fan and my boys lost but I’m RVA born and bred. Salute to VCU…Go win this tournament.
