One of the most exciting aspects of the Olympics is discovering sports we've never, or rarely, watched before. Every few years, we're introduced to events that captivate our attention and spark new interests. But why do these sports only seem to surface during the Olympic Games? Is it the rarity of these events that draws us in? Or is it the prestige and grandeur of the Olympics itself that makes them so intriguing? Imagine if these team handball, canoe slalom, table tennis, and countless others were available more often – would we still be as enthralled? The Olympics provide a unique platform that elevates lesser-known sports to global recognition. It's a testament to the power of the Games to bring diverse athletic pursuits into the spotlight, if only temporarily. What do you think?

Our Volleyball World Ranking will be used to decide who qualifies for the Olympics for the first time!   The World Ranking shows the true sporting strength of all 222 national teams per gender, looking at all matches played in official competitions. Every match and set counts.   Here’s how it works: Ranking points are awarded to the two teams by comparing the final result of the match to the expected result based on playing strength. The winning team gains points, the losing team loses the same number of points. You gain more points when beating a stronger team than when beating a weaker team. The ranking is mathematically successful too, with a high predictive power.   Twelve teams (per gender) will participate in the Olympic Games Paris 2024, with one guaranteed spot for the host nation, six spots via the Olympic qualification tournaments, and the other five spots through our ranking. #Volleyball #Olympics #Paris2024

I have sat through hundreds of soccer games over the last 15 years as all four of my children have played both travel and school soccer. I am beyond amazed at the sport of Blind Soccer. The stadium is silenced, no cheering until a goal is scored - a goalie who may have their sight but field players who are blindfolded. Sounds crazy! and Impossible. After coming off of a soccer tournament this past weekend, and catching the news highlights this morning of the Blind Soccer Paralympics, I asked my daughter over breakfast, could you play soccer blind? "No way!" Immediate response received, I am beyond amazed, motivated, and inspired. In a world where we often find the smallest thing to blame for a failure or less than optimal outcome when things don't go our way - the athletes at the paralympics are getting things done. Change I can't to I can, because they are. Situational circumstances do not define your path. Your courage, focus, determination, drive, and grit do. When your head and heart are aligned there are no limitations on what you can accomplish. Lacking motivation today? Check out the athletes competing in the 2024 Paralympics and make the most of your day, your week, your year. Set goals and go get them. #pfizer, #diversity, #equity, #inclusion, #paralympics, #courage, #determination, #inspiration, #equality https://lnkd.in/e_HpRnck
