Did you watch the Kentucky Derby this Year?
Rich Strike, the 2022 Kentucky Derby winning horse!
1. Not the best starting position
2. Not the biggest or best horse
3. Only made it into the race because another horse scratched
4. A $30,000 horse and won against many multi million dollar horses
Remind your students this year that it’s not always about having the best of everything or being the biggest and favored. It’s about the size of heart and dedication to win and excel in everything you do!
