King Richard As A Football Professional Football Player
Richard is a person I have seen who puts in a lot of hard work and has nothing to show for it. He worked his whole life with sports and working to become on the best corners in the NFL. To get there he first worked to overcome things in life. Life is hard when you're fighting to get into the NFL. Richard was a person out of many that didn't get many opportunities. He had to work for everything and had nobody to really understand that being a football player consists of striving for greatness even if noone is watching. The NFL was one of the his biggest dreams. He had wanted to be a professional football player in the big leagues and had the dream to play with veterans because they have been there and done it over and over again. Even though

    Michael Vick Research Paper

    The old Vick had been plagued by indecision, by a lack of work ethic ("I had none sometimes," he admits), by on-field impatience, by off- field distractions that were so numerous they almost turned football into a distraction, and by the unbearable weight of being Michael Vick, Preternatural Talent (Leitch, 2011). In Philadelphia, coaches praised the New Michael Vick as a diligent worker and perfect teammate, a leader deserving of the team’s Ed Block Courage award for exemplifying commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage so Michael Vick is on the road of redemption on the field as well as off the…

    Randy Pausch The Last Lecture

    One of his many childhood dreams was to play in the NFL. Although he did not achieve that dream, he believes he learned a lot from it. On page 35, Pausch says, “It helped make me who I am today. And even though I did not reach the National Football League, I sometimes think I got more from pursuing that dream, and not accomplishing it, then I did from many of the ones I did accomplish.” I believe this is one of the most important lessons his children will learn from this book. One can learn so much more from doing something and completely failing, than one would if they just easily flew through something. Football taught Randy a very important lesson, if a person truly cares about someone they will push them, no matter what. “When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s bothering to tell you anymore, that's a bad place to be.”…

    Emmitt Smith's Football Career

    The young man had been working all his life to get to the point he was at, so it would have been easy for him to go crazy with the signing bonuses and fat checks he was receiving. After all, when you think of a professional athlete, you think of fancy cars, nice houses, and big boats. Emmitt was different. He always knew that football didn’t last forever and that there would be a day when he would have to put the pads away. So instead of throwing his money down the drain, he put it in savings accounts, invested in different stocks, and left just enough for him to live off…

    Peyton Manning Influence On Football

    Thanks to Manning, teams now rely on quarterbacks to pass for over four thousand yards every season – a number that only two quarterbacks reached in 1998. Manning made four thousand yards a necessary number and now nearly half of the NFL quarterbacks reach that number and several eclipse five thousand yards on a yearly basis. A current football great Tom Brady said, “He’s done it so gracefully, so admirably. He set the standard for how to play the quarterback position” (King). Another current great, Russell Wilson said, “You inspired me to work hard. To be disciplined. To be respectful. To take notes. You inspired me to love the process” (Schneier). To hear that from players like Tom Brady and Russell Wilson that will without a doubt be inducted into the Football Hall of Fame, clearly demonstrates that Peyton Manning has inspired other quarterbacks to prepare and play just as he…
