BE the football captain

I just checked my emails and found I had a newsletter from Dazed Digital about their Meadham Kirchhoff take-over! yay!

Today they've posted their youtube playlists and a bit about why they like them etc. I've only watched the first on so far, but it was so good that I had to share it!

I really liked it when she said "Do not hurt yourself, destroy yourself, mangle yourself to get the football captain. Be the football captain. That's it, it's that simple." This kinda reminded me the part in Whip It when Bliss tells the Roller Derby team that they are her heroes, and they tell her to "be your own hero". I think that's a really good motto, or mantra, or whatever you want to call it.
There's been a lot of talk about role models during the olympics, and while you should be inspired by other people, learn from them and look up to them, I think that ultimately you shouldn't idolize people. You should be your own role model.
Anyway, I'm going to watch the rest of the videos, which can be found here.
