John Amaechi, a former NBA player who hails from Stockport, England, decided to get a video produced to inspire his fellow countrymen up their game.

England isn’t known for producing basketball talent, with the most famous player being Luol Deng who has just signed with the Miami Heat, but perhaps this video might do its bit on helping motivate the next generation.

Regardless of whether or not you are from England, or even play basketball, there are a lot of lessons in this video that are applicable to succeeding in anything in life.

Have a watch, and share with the hashtag #PayTheFEE!
