"Don't ever give up on anything you want to do. It takes a lot more than talent to reach your dreams; it takes heart."
Melanie Oudin
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and I have missed. I have failed over and over again in my life.And that is why I succeed."
Michael Jordan
"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other."

AV Speech Outline
Introduction:
Hi, everyone! The video that I chose for this assignment is a video of a world famous tennis player - Caroline Ozniacki. As I've told you before, I had the chance to play tennis for four years in high school and I am still very passionate about it. I chose this particular tennis player for a couple reasons. Caroline Ozniacki is only a year older than me, but she has proved herself to be one of the world's best tennis player. Caroline wasn't good at tennis when she first started. However, she was passionate about it and with hours of practice every day on the court she managed to become an excellent tennis player. As you will see in the video, she is a fire on the court.

Conclusion:
You don't have to know anything about tennis in order to see how passionate Caroline Ozniacki is about tennis. I think it's admirable for such a young person to have discovered her passion. I think it's very important to discover your passion, to find out what makes you tick. It's great if you are talented, however, if you are not, I believe that hard work, determination, and persistence will help you master your abilities. Finally, I'd like to end with a quote from another young famous tennis player, Melanie Oudine, " Don't ever give up on anything you want to do. It takes a lot more than talent to reach your dreams, it takes heart."
