Hi all bros and sis,<\/p>\n

I wish to share with you an enlightening story<\/a> told by Jonathan.<\/p>\n

On Monday after Syracuse trip, Jonathan ran into Stuart, his General Contractor who was a tennis player and
\nemployed Rene, the black 3.5 Long Island team player who lost to our John\/Jimmy double team is,
\ncoincidentally, retained by Jonathan as architect.<\/p>\n

As a tennis lover, Stuart has been monitory Long Island team scores.
\nHe congratulated Jonathan for our team won and became the Eastern Section Champion.<\/p>\n

He said, our team was and still is Talk Of The Town. Everyone in Syracuse talked about our team and wondering
\nhow we managed to beat out other teams along the course.<\/p>\n

They arrived with a conclusion that it was not skill, technique or form that produced some amazing wins.
\nIt was our TEAM SPIRT, the WILL to win, passion and POSITIVE ATTITUDE that carried us through all huddles.<\/p>\n

We do not have powerful strokes, beautiful form, elegant movement through out the tournament. All we had was
\nthe will, positive attitude team spirit and the cheering supporters that impressed everyone upstate.
\nWe demonstated to others that we committed to win and we came up to Syracuse to do just that, with little
\nbit of luck that we shall not forget.<\/p>\n

Other teams admired our spirit and using our example to motivate their players.<\/p>\n

Our folks offered support and backup to all team members. Delivering water & banana when needed. Little things
\nlike that was enough to get others jealous as they all have to carry their own stuff. They have to beg for water
\nduring long games.<\/p>\n

When all folks saw our great Captain Ken being carried off court by teammate; Donald and Byron, everyone
\nwas shock and moved by our unity and passion.<\/p>\n

While listening to Jonathan telling the tale, I was touched and couldn’t help sharing with you
\nthe enlightening messages:<\/p>\n

TEAM SPIRIT
\nWILL POWER
\nPASSION
\nCOMMITMENT
\n &
\nPOSITIVE ATTITUDE<\/p>\n

Tucson, here we come.<\/p>\n
