Happy Heavenly Birthday To Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner!! 🥳🎉 Flo-Jo would have turned 62 today! Please show some L💜ve for the fastest woman of all-time, track and field athlete, #FlorenceGriffithJoyner ✨ Florence Griffith Joyner ran like no woman had ever run before. She became a household name after setting world records in the 100m & 200m at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea She did it with notable flair, too. In an age where runners were told, strictly, not to wear their hair long, wear jewelry or grow long nails, Flo Jo did just those things. It didn’t make her any slower, as coaches of the era would've claimed. She was the fastest runner in the world and she was going to act like it. Four-inch, decorative nails. One-legged leotards. Long, flowing hair. It didn't matter. She became such a fashion icon that, after Griffith retired from track in 1989, she was commissioned by the #IndianaPacers to design their uniforms. The “Flo-Jo’s,” as they were lovingly named, are still an icon of 90s basketball. Griffith was part of a family that became track royalty. She married Al Joyner, gold medal winner in the triple jump during the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Her sister-in-law was Jackie Joyner-Kersee, an all-time great in the heptathlon and long jump who won six Olympic medals. Griffith passed away of an epileptic seizure in 1998. She had been treated for three seizures throughout the 1990s. She was 38. To date, her 200m world and Olympic record (21.34) as well as her 100m world record (10.49) still stand. Her 100m Olympic record (10.62) was improved in 2021 at the 2020 Summer Olympics in #Tokyo by #ElaineThompsonHerah (10.61). #LosAngelos #California #1980Olympics #1984Olympics #1988Olympics #CaliforniaStateUniversity #UCLA #100Meters #200Meters #AlJoyner #TrackAndField #GoldMedal 🥇 #SilverMedal 🥈 #Olympic #FastestWomanOfAllTime #USATrackAndField #HallOfFame #FlorenceGriffithJoynerElementarySchool #MissionViejo #ArtOfTheOlympians #MostInfluentialWomenOfThePastCentury Sources: SportsIllustrated, GettyImages ✨👉🏾 Kindly FOLLOW Our New Page @wonderwombman2 (DM FOR PROMO RATES) 📬📥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CXvt0gzueVf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Words from Herb Brooks

When I think of good leadership qualities & people (especially public figures) who have given me so much necessary food-for-thought (in terms of being a more effective leader) - I have to recognize Herb Brooks (famed U.S. Olympic Hockey Coach of the Miracle-on-Ice 1980 U.S. Hockey Team; see AWESOME; see YES I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES; see ONE OF THE GREATEST COACHES OF ALL TIME).

This video elaborates on some of the teachings of Herb Brooks, and I’d like to add that I’ve never played hockey (aside from street hockey as a kid just for fun on my own time). Herb Brooks’ words-of-wisdom go well beyond competitive sports - he is one of the few (if not, only) athletic coaches that has given advice that I actually follow & live by (to this very day). I have always been fascinated with Great Leadership (which I believe is the most underrated “SuperPower” if ever a concept were to be legitimate & absolutely true), especially with inspiring leadership. Herb Brooks is someone that I genuinely look up to (rest his soul) and I truly admire his leadership ability, not only as a hockey coach, but as a person. He was more than a hockey coach, he was an inspiration.

So, for anyone who actually has a developing (or genuine) interest in Leadership and what separates mediocre leadership & Awesome leadership - I highly recommend taking a moment to see what has been said from one the most inspiring leaders in American Sports History.
