When it comes to the strongest and most prosperous country in the world, I believe most of the answers will be the United States. Not only is the Olympic Games, the highest temple of sports held every four years, always ranked first and second in the gold medal list, but the world's most watched professional sports such as the NBA, MLB, and NFL all come from the United States. In addition to grassroots education, which does not take academic results as everything, the average development of the five education allows students to develop according to their interests, and if they have talent and achievements in sports in the future, they can also be regarded as a lifelong vocation and career.
Beyond that, however, a recent story in the United States may explain why the United States can be so strong in sports.
The University of Kentucky, a sports leader in the NCAA, and John Calipari, the coach of the men's basketball team and former NBA coach, recently posted a post that read: "Our family's American dream comes from a mine in West Virginia, so this photo touched my heart.
The story behind this photo is that the bearded man covered in soot and looking particularly abrupt is the protagonist of today's story, Micheal McGuire, a miner who works in Parkville, Kentucky, and the Kentucky men's basketball team, which is also the NBA star player who gave birth to Xu, will host a blue-and-white game to raise funds for the flooding that occurred in Eastern Kentucky in August. Including his wife and 3-year-old son Easton, they had already arranged to come in to watch the game on the weekend.
McGuire works from 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day, and although the day the family is going to the game is a weekend, he still has to go to work, but the game time is six o'clock in the evening, as long as he is more than enough time to catch the game according to the usual off time. But the plan never changed, and McGuire's work schedule was delayed and he left work late, so he called his wife and said: I don't have time to wash and change clothes, otherwise I won't be able to go to the ball game with my son.
In the end, even though his whole body and face were covered in soot, McGuire still attended on time, and the family of three spent a wonderful weekend night.
What made McGuire have to come in and watch the game even if he was dirty? It turned out that when McGuire was a child, he and his father stayed in front of the TV to watch basketball games at the University of Kentucky; And this weekend game was his son's first Kentucky men's basketball game, so McGuire wanted to maintain the family tradition, and he certainly didn't want to disappoint his son.
This seemingly ordinary little event received a great response after the Kentucky coach searched, and then the coach will also entertain them VIP tickets to the home of a family of three at the University of Kentucky. Sports have become deeply rooted in people's hearts and become daily life, which is why the United States is a world sports power.
