Failing Forward: The Jordan Journey

Michael Jordan got cut from his high school varsity basketball team. The greatest player

of all time wasn't good enough for a high school squad. That rejection became his fuel.

He practiced relentlessly, sometimes until midnight, turning pain into power.

Jordan later said he visualized that coach's decision before every game to stay hungry.

His career stats tell the rest: six championships, five MVPs, ten scoring titles.

But here's what matters more. He missed over nine thousand shots and lost almost three

hundred games. Twenty-six times he was trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.

His secret wasn't talent alone. It was failing bigger than anyone else and showing up anyway.
