Watch these three videos without quiver, sob, whimper or even a tear. If you have ever searched for the meaning of teamwork, dedication, perseverance and compassion, look to sports and these three outstanding clips.
The videos represent what is truly great about sports. While football is the ultimate team sport and full of such stories, these three clips rise to the top as sports stories that can soften even the toughest middle linebacker.
1. The Team with Incredible Compassion
When Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon hit her first career home run (a three run shot) against Central Washington, she rounded first base, and then blew out her knee. See how coaches, managers and opponents responded.

2. Perseverance and Love: Derek Redmond
A heavy favorite to win the 400 meter race in the 1992 Olympics, Jim Redmond failed and came in last place. Or did he really fail? See how he and his best teammate responded to this painful adversity.

3. The Autistic Basketball Player Finds Lightning
The last home game gave team manager and water boy Jason McElwain a chance to enter the game. Why not give him a chance? What could go wrong? More so, what could go right?
