Michael Jordan
Although he was already an outstanding athlete, in Grade 10 Michael 
Jordan was told he wouldn’t be picked for the varsity basketball team 
- and would never make it as a college or professional player - 
because he was too short.
*
It now seems incredible that anyone ever told the boy who would become the greatest 
basketball player in history that he was never going to make it as a professional, but that 
is exactly what happened to the legendary Michael Jordan.
Today, Jordan is described by most experts as the best player to ever pick up a basketball. 
His list of awards, records, scoring titles, most-valuable-player trophies, Olympic gold 
medals, NBA championships, and other honors goes on for several pages. When the TV 
sports channel ESPN conducted a poll of sports journalists, they voted Michael Jordan 
the number one athlete in any sport of the past one hundred years!
Yet in high school, Jordan couldn’t even make the varsity basketball team. He was 
already an outstanding athlete in basketball, football, and baseball, but when he tried out 
for the senior basketball team in Grade 10, the coaches told him he was simply too short. 
He was told that, at 5’ 11” (183 cm), he was never going to make it as a college or 
professional player.
Some people might have taken that judgment to heart and lost their self-confidence, but 
Michael Jordan took it as a challenge, and decided he would prove the coaches wrong. 
He took his dedication to the sport to the next level, practicing and working out in every 
spare moment. In Grade 11, Michael was on the basketball team. In Grade 12, he was 


named one of the best high school basketball players in the United States.
As a star player in university, Michael Jordan had another turning point in his life when 
he scored the winning basket at the last second in a U.S. college championship game. 
That boost to his self-esteem never faded, and Jordan says he has never doubted himself 
since then.
Going on to win more championships at the college and professional levels, and setting 
records that may never be broken, Michael Jordan traces much of his success back to the 
lesson he learned in high school - when someone tells you that you can’t accomplish 
something, it simply means that you have to try harder.
