The Olympic Spirit
Nicole Palmer
We love watching the Olympics because of course it is so easy to cheer for any athlete representing the USA.
However, what we sometimes seem to forget is all the years of commitment which these athletes have put into their sport, to reach the top step of the podium.
Hyundai has a great commercial where the weary parent is driving their kid home from practice, and you can see the child questioning what they are doing and asking themselves, ‘why am I doing this’. The tag line of the commercial is Never Give Up On What You Love. I think the parent in the front seat, knows this and will support their child no matter the cost to themselves.
I love painting. So, it is very easy for me to get in front of the easel most mornings, and ‘do what I love’.
The time I have put into my sport does not even come close to what these top athletes have committed to, however the passion is still there for me.
It makes my work a joy.
Go USA!
