AN OLYMPIC-SIZED INSPIRATION
John Dane III is 58 years old and has spent the last 40 years of his life trying out for the Olympic Sailing Team. He finally made it this year with his son-in-law, Austin Sperry.
Dane’s efforts to qualify for the Olympics led him to 4 separate failures… each by just a few minutes. He didn’t give up after each loss… he simply kept pushing forward, and improved his sailing skills. The easiest path for John Dane would’ve been for him to quit after 1 or 2 failures. John Dane decided that failure wasn’t an option… and persevered.
Checkout this video of John Dane sailing with his son-in-law. Let’s root him onto victory. He’ll be competing between August 15th and August 20th.
