The News Argus, March 2002 I NEWS HBO analyst inspires many toward goals By James Jones Jr. ARGUS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF HBO Real Sports analyst Bryan Burwell lectured about hard work and commitment to excellence Feb. 20 in the Thompson Center. Burwell, an award-win ning sports journalist who has covered 19 Super Bowls and four Olympic Games, said that he has encountered champions who all share an incredi ble level of commitment to excellence. "You don't know how good you can be because maybe no one's told you that," said Burwell. "Maybe that's how wide and broad your horizon is. You can only go after what you see." Burwell also empha sized the importance of believing in yourself. He said hard work accompa nies each individual on the journey to excellence. "You have to under stand that if you worked really hard, if you believe and you want to be great, you're going to be great," he said. In addition, he said the fear of failure is something that will be encountered but must be overcome on the journey to excellence. Burwell ended his lec ture by offering tips for achieving success. He said individuals should know they are great and sur round themselves with successful people. "Your mantra should be 'I am going to be great,' and you should say this everyday when you look in the mirror," he said. Ryan Alston, a WSSU offensive lineman coach, said that people such as Burwell are vital to our growth and development as individuals. "There aren't too many prominent blacks in the industry, and somebody of his character should be compelling for all of us to grow from and expand our horizons," he said. Freshman James Burrell said the lecture inspired him. "He made me think that I could be a writer. I could tell he worked hard to get where he is," he said.
