nike football: risk everything

‘we watch football for those unexpected moments of brilliance in large part because they inspire us to attempt our own. those moments awaken inside us all the realization that we too can achieve the impossible,’ says davide grasso, nike’s chief marketing officer. ‘this film embodies that sentiment and reminds players in every country at every level: if you are prepared to risk everything, there’s no telling what you can do.’
