FINAL: @MizzouSoftball 4, @Vol_Softball 3
Missouri beats Tennessee in the series finale and the Tigers end the regular season at 28-28. Mizzou's postseason eligibility will come down to a must-win SEC tournament opener.
Can’t say enough about this group’s grit and fight today!! Never backed down and kept punching till the last out to get the sweep!! Great day to be a Griff!! #GriffUp
A 7-year-old boy in a Serbia torn by war built a Wimbledon trophy out of cardboard and slept with it every night.
29 years later – exactly 29 – that same boy, now 36, stood on the Roland-Garros center court holding the real thing… as the greatest player who ever lived, with 23 Grand Slams in his arms.
Then Novak Djokovic did something unforgettable.
He stopped his victory speech, looked straight into the camera, and gave every kid on earth the most powerful 55 seconds of motivation you’ll ever hear:
“I had the power to create my own destiny.
I don’t just believe — I FEEL it with every cell in my body.
To every young person watching:
Forget what happened in the past.
The future doesn’t just happen.
YOU create it.
Take the means in your hands.
Visualize it.
Feel it.
Build it.”
From a war-torn balcony with a borrowed racket…
to the top of the world.
If he can do THAT, imagine what YOU can do.
Save this clip.
Play it when life feels heavy.
It hits harder every single time.
Keep your 👀 on @NEGoldVance’s catcher @NatBoozikee who makes this 💪 throw to shortstop @JennaAllen2027 who makes a nice grab and applies a quick tag to secure the out at 3rd!
🚨 AWARDS ALERT: Congratulations to the 2024-25 ATEC / NFCA High School National Coaching Staff of the Year, @GretnaSoftball! 🥎
