Tim Tebow of The New York Jets can succeed as An NFL quarterback, even though his style is unorthodox. If you don't agree, consider the following cases of sports stars who have been successful even though they were a little bit differrent.
Consider Carl Yastrzemski. Yaz chose to point his bat toward the sky as he waited for the pitch. He went on to have a great career and to establish himself as one of the Red Sox greats.
Consider Mick "the quick" Rivers of The New York Yankees. He roamed centerfield well and stole many bases. Rivers looked as if he was searching for lost coins as he ran on and off of the field and dashed toward a fly ball.
Consider Kenny Stabler of The Oakland Raiders. Stabler wobbled around, frequently throwing passes from many different angles.
Consider Vince Lombardi, who found a way to win because winning was the only thing. Today's young fans may recognize the prowess of Rogers, Jennings and Mccarthy, but a little research into history will reveal that the Packer tradition was surely enhaced by Starr, Hourning, and Lombardi.
As Frank Sinatra revealed, the only way is to do it "my way." Tebow is doing it his way. Who ever decided that there was only one way to pass a football, anyway? If the first down is made, if the touchdown is made, if the game is won, what difference does technique make?
Tebow can succeed, as these guys did, because he believes in himself. He simply strives to get better at his craft with every passing day. Imagine if we all took that attitude to work. If sales people could add an extra sale each day, how many more would they have at the end of the month? If doctors could perform one extra operation each day, how many more patients would get better? If the members of our government could- well, don't get me started.
The lesson we can all learn from Tebow is to keep the faith that we will reach our goals-if we just keep at it and continue to make progress.
