I just realized that this saying/slogan makes no sense. Unless you somehow get up in one instance in which you did not fall down, or maybe count getting out of bed as one of the times you got up, it is impossible to fall seven times and get up eight.
Fall, get up, fall, get up, fall, get up, fall, get up, fall, get up, fall, get up, fall, get up. Seven of each. It should be, "Fall seven times, get up seven."
Just thought I'd point that out. Take that, Nike!
PS: It actually is physically possible to "just do it."

I guess Nike assumes you start any endeavor from a sitting or laying down position.
"I've fallen, and I can't get up!" < "I've gotten up, but haven't fallen!"
