3 Lessons of Olympic Excellence  David Rudisha
  (800m Gold medalist & World record holder)
Lessons 1: Greatness is possible.
 David started at the bottom of the athletics
pyramid.

 Five years ago, the Kenyan was an average
decathlete competing near his village.

 Many would have written David off.

 Today  the Olympic gold, the world record, and
David is the master of the 800m race.

 Every country has its rags to riches story.

  David is not dreaming, he is living out greatness for
  today hes crowned the undisputed king of the 800m
                       discipline.
Lessons 1: Greatness is possible.

 Let your dedication and determination match
the sufficient grace God (I Corinthians 15 vs.
10).

 People will promote you based on your
diligence and not your faith (Proverbs 22 vs. 29).

 Never doubt yourself, more importantly, never
doubt the Lord (James 1 vs. 5-7).



Through diligence, dedication and determination we can
     live our dreams and we can fulfil our visions.
Lessons 2: Gun for Sheer Excellence.
 There is good, there is better, and there is best.

 Some Olympians chose to be the best i.e. gold
but missed world record fame by 2-5 milliseconds.

Best doesnt compare to sheer excellence.

 David sought excellence that no one could
contest or deny.

 He broke the 800m world record into
smithereens.

    Rudisha's one minute 40.91 seconds set a new
benchmark in an event where only three other men in 36
       years have set world records BBC Sports
Lessons 2: Gun for Sheer Excellence.

 Applaud your successes but do not be
satisfied when there is so much more
(Ephesians 3 vs. 20).

 Ask yourself a question  how and where
can I be better? (Philippians 4 vs. 13).

 Set a laudable target for yourself and break
a record (Philippians 3 vs. 13).



We need to start to think of sheer excellence in all we do
                  not just gold medals.
Lessons 3: Seek to Inspire Others.

 Never has an 800m race been so beautifully
run.

 Every single man ran the fastest ever time for
their placing in history BBC Sports.

 It took the guts and spirit of one man to inspire
his fellow runners to personal glory.

 His countrymen were inspired and raked in
more Gold medals.


There is no question about impact that David made in the
            lives of fellow athletes in London.
Lessons 3: Seek to Inspire Others.

 Embrace the right mindset, dont be self
centred (Philippians 2 vs. 3-5).

 Go out of your way to find opportunities
to inspire people (Hebrews 10 vs. 24).

 Continue to be excellent and by so doing
challenge others to be better (Philippians 1
vs. 14).


  Provoke and inspire people to levels of greatness that
            they thought was just a dream.
3 Guiding Remarks.

 Be humble  theres is dignity in
labour.

 Maintain the right focus  like
Jesus, go about your Fathers
business.

 Failure is not a myth, but neither is
God.


             Embrace the right attitude.
Food for thought.
 What area could you excel in
significantly over the next one month?

Is there someone you could inspire and
propel to success with your support over
the next 3 months?
Be inspired and be an inspiration.




     You are the potter, heres the clay.
THANK YOU.
