Inspirational Leadership Lessons From The Gridiron
by Michael D. Hume, M.S.
Yesterday, I saw something remarkable during a professional football game, the likes of which I used to see all the time but haven't seen in awhile. It was a stunning last-minute comeback led by a young, much maligned quarterback, whose skills are thought by experts to be suspect and whose most prominent strength seems to be that elusive and hard-to-quantify "will" to win.
The quarterback in question is young Tim Tebow, and the team he led to victory was my beloved Denver Broncos.
If you didn't see or hear about the game, the high points are these: Tebow was making his first start of the cabrera grey jersey season yesterday, as the woeful Broncos decided to take a chance on him following several lackluster performances by his predecessor. For the first 56 minutes of Sunday's game, Tebow gave his critics (who are legion) plenty of grist for their mills: he missed wide-open receivers, fumbled the ball, and made some bad choices (and bad throws). But then, with the Broncos "hopelessly" down and out and less than four minutes left in the game, Tebow and cabrera grey jersey the Broncos offense caught fire. They scored fifteen unanswered points, forced the game into overtime, and then won it on a long field goal by a kicker who'd already missed two shorter attempts earlier in the game.
