If You’ve Never Failed, You’ve Never Lived

Here’s an inspirational video you can show your students or athletes. It can be particularly powerful after your team has lost a game or championship. You can also use it with individual students who appear to have a fear of failure.

The video highlights a number of famous people who initially failed in their endeavors, then rose to become high successful.

The end-phrase: “If you’ve never failed, you’ve never lived.”
