You got to have heart to succeed

You got to have heart to find out what will make you a successful person In the 1960s, a leading sports commentator spoke these piercing words about the 26-mile marathon race.

I feel that it is extremely important for children to see role models who look and sound like them. Young people tend to idolize successful people who share their heritage. For years there were no high profile black golf professionals until Tiger Woods came on the scene. The influence of Tiger has motivated young blacks to play the game of golf.

The same can be said about Venus and Serena, there has been an increased interest in the sport of tennis since they appeared on the scene several years ago. Venus and Serena have inspired young blacks to play tennis.
