An Homage to a “Bash Brother”

My soccer team has a habit of using quotes from “The Mighty Ducks” as motivation. After one Sunday game, I sat down and watched all three movies from the franchise. Halfway through the first movie, I grabbed a few sheets of card stock and began piecing together this small tribute to my favorite Duck, Fulton Reed.

Not only a “Bash Brother,” Fulton’s the misunderstood loner who finds a family within the Ducks. With a nuclear slap shot, he also serves as the Ducks’ secret weapon in the more dramatic games. His initial inability to skate allows for comic relief and makes the character relatable. Through Fulton, we learn that if we remove an obstacle, we can realize a pursuit we would have otherwise dismissed.

I try to remember this lesson whenever I come across something I want to pursue. Too often, we become discouraged because we don’t have all the pieces of the puzzle needed to complete the task. When this happens, it’s important to just jump in. All you need is confidence that you’ll figure it out and improve along the way.
