What Defines a Winner?

Or an athlete?


If you are looking for some inspiration for the day, watch an excerpt from the 2009 Sports documentary movie “Athlete.” It is a movie outtake featuring Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer survivor, Jenny, discussing what defines an athlete. Jenny completed Ironman Lake Placid.
For more information on the movie, which features four athletes – everyday athletes in America. Besides Jenny, there is a blind man and two win sisters training for a marathon.


ATHLETE is directed by David Lam, an award-winning creative manager for a leading Internet company in NYC. The idea for the documentary ATHLETE came from his experience in completing five marathons in New York, London, Chicago, and San Francisco.
