There is a scene in a movie called “Facing the Giants” where the coach of a small high school has to inspire a team that hasn’t performed well and is used to failure. When the quarterback of the team indicates he doesn’t think they can win Friday’s game the coach pulls him aside for one of the most inspiring moments in the film.“Don’t you quit on me, Brock,” he commands the quarterback who is blindfolded and made to crawl on the football field with another player on his back. “Don’t you quit.”Foot by agonizing
