Many people thought Louis Zamperini would not live long beyond his formative years, and on many occasions they were almost right. As a child of immigrants, Zamperini was often in trouble with the authorities, until a police officer suggested that Louis use his fleet feet for sport instead of mischief.By the end of High School, Louis had become a world class runner, setting a world high school record in the mile. He qualified to run on the 1936 Olympic team by tying the world record holder in the 5000 meter run. At the Games in Berlin, he was America’s top finisher in the event, covering the final lap in an astounding 56 seconds. On a routine reconnaissance run, his aircraft crashed into the Pacific Ocean, and Louis and another crew member survived in a life raft for 47 days, drifting 2000 miles, into Japanese controlled waters. His rescuers were also his torturers, as the Japanese put Louis into a series of prison camps. One particular guard wanted to make an example of the eternally optimistic Olympic runner, and for two years the guard tried to break Louis’ spirit with verbal and physical cruelty. Today, at 93 years of age, Louis is still spry and full of life. He lectures audiences across the globe, on how to deal with stress, the meaning of Olympism and the freedom he found through a personal relationship with God.
