Football can create moments of inspiration that can make us press pause on the world around us. That happened with the UCLA football team this week.

According to the local ABC affiliate in Los Angeles, Cade Spinello is providing motivation to the entire UCLA football program. Spinello, a blind 9-year-old boy with a brain tumor, got a chance to practice with the team on Wednesday. He scored a touchdown and was lifted up by the team, who enjoyed celebrating with him.  

"It just puts things into perspective," said Deon Hollins, a UCLA linebacker. "That's what it's all about. The fact that we can make that kind of impact, you know, just to anyone, is just really amazing."
