In the sports world, March Madness is one of the greatest times of the year. I'm sure you've come across people talking about their brackets for the NCAA tournament, and how their team or the teams they picked let them down. But now, the brackets have collapsed, and the Final Four is set. Villanova, Kansas, Michigan, and Loyola of Chicago make up the teams that will compete for a National Championship.

If you know anything about sports, specifically College Basketball, you know that one of these teams are not like the other.

Loyola-Chicago is the "Cinderella team," or the team that no one expected to do as well as they did. These teams are usually fun to cheer for and follow throughout the tournament. Loyola-Chicago has captured the hearts of many fans across the country. Led by Sister Jean, their 98-year-old chaplain, the Ramblers have defeated some of the best teams in the tournament, and the best teams in College Basketball. But the Ramblers represent a greater meaning beyond basketball. Never count out the Cinderella teams.

Regardless of the sport, the Cinderella teams represent what's good in the world, let alone what's good in sports. Usually, these teams are overlooked and not appreciated, but they feel as if they have a chance to do great things. Here's proof. According to SB Nation, only .48 percent of people who filled out a bracket picked Loyola-Chicago to advance to the Final Four. Yes, that's a real statistic. Less than 1 percent of the 17 million people who filled out a bracket picked the Ramblers to get this far. Even Sister Jean, the team chaplain didn’t have them advancing this far! They are underdogs, and they used this as fuel to their motivation. If you ask them, they feel as if they're the best team on the court, and they play with that confidence.

This is the beauty of the NCAA tournament and the beauty of sports. Nobody thought that Loyola-Chicago would make it to the Final Four, just as nobody expected the University of Maryland, Baltimore County to make history and defeat the University of Virginia, the top overall team in the NCAA tournament in the first round. Nevada was down by 21 points to the University of Cincinnati in the second half of the game, and they came from behind to win the game. All of these teams are Cinderella teams in their own way, and time after time, they teach us valuable lessons.

They teach us that teamwork makes the dream work. All of these schools have played teams-and for the Ramblers, will play a team that is more talented than they are. But they give everything they have and play for their teammates. They also teach us that self-confidence is the key to take us where you want to be. These teams believe that if they play their best basketball and play for one another, they can win, regardless as to who they play. They're not cocky or arrogant but confident in their skill set and each other. Lastly and most importantly, they have fun. You see the team's celebrating on the sideline when something positive, and they enjoy the moment.

The Cinderella teams provide a good outline of how we should attack each day in life. Make those around you better, have confidence in yourself and in all things have fun. Oh, and don't create a bracket for March Madness.
