Watching this commercial literally brought tears to my eyes. Powerade is an official sponsor of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and they chose the most amazing person to feature in their campaign, Nico Calabria.
Nico was born with only one leg. The commercial begins with home videos of him as a child not only learning to live life with a prosthetic leg, but also growing as an amazing soccer player, the sport he loves.

Playing soccer with a prosthetic leg at first before opting to use forearm crutches, Nico has competed — and even excelled at — varsity high school soccer, playing against boys who have both their legs.
Now 19, Nico has become one of the best players on the United States National Amputee Soccer Team and an inspiration to millions. When he was 13, Nico also became the first person to ever summit Mt. Kilimanjaro on crutches, raising more than $100,000 for charity in the process.
