Featured Story
Meet Apollos Hester.
You might recognize Apollos Hester, the young football player you see here--over eight million people have watched his inspirational post-game interview on YouTube! After his team fought hard for a one-point win over a rival Texas high school team, he spoke with a local television sports reporter - his motivational words and enthusiastic delivery sparked such a powerful response that the video clip went viral. Here's just a sample of his message: "It's a mind set.... You can do anything that you put your mind to. Never give up on your dreams. If you fall down, just get up. If you can't get up, your friends are there to help you up, your mama's there, your daddy's there, God's there - hey, I'm there to help you up...it's going to be all right."
Apollos has the Real Winning Edge.
