The Power of Belief
Below is the inspiring story that demostrate "The Power of Belief". Hope we all benefited from it.
Then one day as Bev lay in her hospital bed looking at a poster of The Texas Relays, the biggest track meet of the year in front of 20,000 fans, she made the declaration that she was going to stand up on her own two feet at that event. An inconceivable notion to the average person since the Texas Relays was only 4 months away. But inconceivable was not in Bev’s vocabulary. She believed it would be so and so it would be.
4 Months later on a beautiful April day in front of 20,000 cheering fans Bev Kearney heard nothing but silence as time stopped and she stood up on her own two legs. The power of believing was on display for all to witness.
Several years later Bev is walking, and coaching and thriving. She says she was a good coach before the accident. But now she is a phenomenal coach. She and her team have won two national championships since the accident and getting ready for a third. Her goals are to keep winning national titles, write books, and help young women pursue their dreams through her non-profit foundation “Pursuit of Dreams.” Her message to these girls and the world is: “Thoughts, Words, Deeds. If you can think it and really believe it then you can do it.”
I couldn’t think of a better role model to share this message than Beverly Kearney, University of Texas Head Track and Field Coach and role model for us all.
