There really isn't anything to my mind that exemplifies determination more than this picture. I have had a poster of it in my office for 15 years.
Selected as one of the NBA's greatest photos, we see Dennis Rodman completely horizontal, a few feet off the ground, straining to collect a basketball just at the end of his reach.
The singlemindedness here just blows me away. He has not talked himself out of the attempt by saying that he probably can't get to the ball anyway. There is nobody else around to throw the ball to even if he is able to pull it in--but he doesn't care. He is not calculating the risk/reward. He is not considering that it will hurt when he lands. He really isn't thinking about anything except getting the ball.
Whatever else might be said about Dennis Rodman, this picture is a shining example of determination.
