1.  Never Give Up - I remember when I was in 7th grade, I was playing basketball.  At half time of the game the score was 4-20.  We were losing terribly.  During half time, our coach told us to keep trying, and to stay positive.  He was very insistent that we play hard for the remainder of the game no matter what the outcome would be.  During the 2nd half of the game, my team did just that.  We played hard, we stayed positive, and we never game up.  The outcome of the game didn't matter, but we did win in the end.  I learned that it is important to never give up in any situation because of this. Video of my friends playing basketball in the drive way.  Probably use a about 3-4 different types of shots
