I'm not much of a tennis fan, but lately I have been drawn to the matches of one man, Andre Agassi. Last night, he battled for nearly 4 hours with a 21 year old, Marcos Baghdatis, and won the match after Baghdatis' legs began to cramp in the middle of an 8 deuce duel in the fifth set.
When Agassi was asked in the post-match interview how he was able to win, he said that his back was feeling good, thanks to a cortisone shot in the back, and having 20,000 people cheering for him definitely helped. But I believe there is something else that Agassi has, and that is the endurance and drive to finish well. This being his last U.S. Open, he wants to win. He wants to go out on top, and that is inspiring to me.
I am inspired by people who rise above the status quo of mediocrity, by performing well, inspiring me to live for my dreams. And that is what Agassi does as I watch him give everything he has, and more, to finish well. He is a true inspiration.
