{You Can Do It!}

Source: Wikipedia

Ahhh!!!  The summer OlyMpiCs!!  I look forward to them every 4 years.  It takes me back to 1984 when I was 16 years old.  My friend, Lisa, and I were glued to the television as we watched Mary Lou Retton capture America’s heart and earn a perfect “10″ on the vault securing a gold medal for the All-Around event.  Here’s a replay of that vault:

I even remember this Sports Illustrated cover!!

And of course, how can you forget Mary Lou’s famous coach Bela Karolyi?  I think he may be most famous for his quote “YoU cAn Do It!” with that thick Romanian accent.

I really tried to find a video of Bela saying “You can do it!”, but unfortunately I couldn’t.  This is the closest I can come.  It won’t do the man justice, but here goes.

Although the challenges before you may not be as exciting as the Olympics, I hope you will take those assuring words to HeArT:

YOU

CAN

DO

IT!!!
