Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez got cut from the U-17 World Cup squad at the last minute.

Then he watched his teammates win it on TV from back home in Guadalajara.

It gets worse. The team owner offered to fly him private with his family to sit in the stands and watch the final.

He was sixteen. He said no. He couldn't do it.

What he says next is the part worth sitting with.

He grew up as the son of a pro and the grandson of a pro Mexican footballer, with everyone deciding his story before he played a minute. A lot of managers told him flat out he wasn't good enough.

His family handed him something better than a way around the pain. They taught him to walk into it.

The obstacles are what make you stronger. The spot isn't the stadium. It's the moment things are not going your way and you keep going anyway.

This one is about what you do with rejection when it would be easier to look away.
