If you’re a sports fan, you’ve probably heard of Mo’ne Davis in recent times. The 13-year old pitcher is the first girl to ever earn a win and pitch a shutout in the Little League World Series. She appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Magazine in August and was named one of the 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 by Time.
That’s a lot of media coverage for a 13-year old, but it’s all well-deserved. Mo’ne is an impressive baseball player capable of pitching 70 mph when the boys her age are throwing at an average of 50 mph, but that’s not all. She’s also a talented soccer and basketball player and considers basketball her primary sport.
Chevrolet recently teamed up with film director Spike Lee to create a 60-second spot starring Davis, which aired during the first game of the World Series on Tuesday. Davis is a role model to an untold amount of girls all over the United States, but she’s a reminder to all of us that anything is possible.
Check out the spot just below.
