I want you! for the daffodil army :)

For no reason is often the best reason.

A refreshing look at the power of intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation. Definitely resonates with me...what about you?

Freshman Matt Ziesel scores a touchdown against Maryville. Here's the background from the Ziesel family:

Matt is a special athlete who has Down Syndrome. He loves football and has grown up in an environment surrounded by sports. His father is a coach/ athletic director, and all his siblings play sports. He grew up at athletic events, and has always been a cheerleader. He registered as a freshman at Benton High School -Saint Joseph, MO this year, and told his mother and father he wanted to play football.

The team takes good care of looking after Matt, and he is still the cheerleader on the sidelines. He puts his pads and helmet on, stands next to Coach McCamy and waits for his turn to play. Over and over during the course of the game Matt will say, "Coach McCamy, I am ready! I am ready Coach!"

On this Monday night coach gave him a chance. The Cardinals were down by a few touchdowns with 15 seconds left. Coach McCamy called a timeout and asked the coach of Maryville High School if they could run their "Matt Play". He agreed and this is where the video begins.

Thanks to Coach McCamy and the freshman coach at Maryville, Matt and his family will cherish his moment forever!

Been staring at this for 5min. Not sure why but thought I should share it.
