Athlete


He started out young, strong, and invincible.

Never wanting to stop until he reached perfection.

The climb to success wasn't easy, but when he finally got there he still felt something missing.

The one day when he pushed himself too far, he thought it was all over, but he still never stopped there.

He told himself to be one of the greats you can’t give up, you can't quit, you can’t stop.
