High school running back Apollos Hester has been making headlines with a post-game interview he gave to a local news station in East View, Texas that quickly turned into a motivational speech on the importance of believing in yourself and never giving up. Says Hester,

“It’s an awesome feeling when you truly believe that you’re going to be successful. Regardless of the situation, regardless of the scoreboard, you’re going to be successful because you put in all the time, all the effort, all the hard work and you know that it’s going to pay off…win or lose we realized we’re going to be all right…you can do anything you put your mind to, never give up on your dreams, keep smiling, no matter what you’re going through.”
