Fun Fact: The 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain is where the infamous Dream Team played which consisted of NBA legends Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Patrick Ewing, and Scottie Pippen. Led by Check Daly, the team took home the gold medal that summer and established them as one of the greatest teams to ever play on the court. 

"The best motivation always comes from within." - Michael Johnson. The truest form of motivation comes from how badly you want something. It’s that driving force that attracts us towards the thing we want most in this world. Being motivated doesn’t simply come out of thin air. Motivation comes from deep within and allows us to go after something, especially if it's something we want more than anything.
