Warrior Champions, From Baghdad to Beijing

Just watched an outstanding documentary the other day called "Warrior Champions: From Baghdad to Beijing", which recounts the stories of several soldiers who returned home wounded in the line of duty, and turned around their injuries to compete for U.S.A. in the Summer Paralympic Games in Beijing in 2008, the website for the film is here. It was extremely difficult to find a place which was showing it here, but I managed to take it in yesterday. If you haven't seen it, you will definitely not regret it.

Anyways, I managed to find a short NBA TV extract which interviews some wheelchair basketball veterans some of whom appeared in the film. Show this clip to your team, you can't not help getting pumped up after watching and hearing the motivation of these athletes:
