cheerleader

i like to root for the underdog.  whenever there's a big game, you'll find me cheering for the team least expected and more deserving (in my eyes) to win.  and when it's a team that has never won before, i'll usually be on my feet, screaming at the tv.

last night at dinner with friends, we were discussing the super bowl set to be played today.  we all agreed that since the steelers already have 6 super bowl wins under their belt, we'd rather be supporting the packers.  it doesn't matter that the steelers are in the same state we live in or that the packers are technically the favorite.  to me, green bay is the underdog since they have the inferior record.

like one of my favorite classic children's books, the little engine that could, there's something about rooting for a team or group or person when the odds are stacked against them, when the only things to cling to are optimism and hard work, and when that hope and fighting mentality is found within.

after all, when the least likely contender prevails, isn't that the story you'll remember and want to share?

so whether you're starting up a small business, in a local band, going after your american dream.. just give me a call, and i'm in.
