Jamaica and Gold Medals

With the winter olympics just around the corner, a friend of mine hosted a Cool Runnings movie night.


I'd forgotten what an enjoyable movie it is. But aside from all the humour, my favourite line was from Coach 'Irv' Blitzer, talking with Derice.

Derice, a gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without one, you'll never be enough with one.

It's another of those classic lines that applies equally well to sport and to life.
