I will admit that I was not a huge fan of Tim Tebow in the beginning of the season.  I am indeed a Denver Bronco’s fan mainly due to the love of my life Andrea’s hometown.  I didn’t like his sloppy passes and his need to always try to make running plays.  However, the more I get to know Tim Tebow from his background and attitude, the more I like the guy.

He truly is an overall good guy who displays being humble and a positive outlook on life.  Tim does not have a bad bone in his body even faced with trash talk and negativity, Tebow decides to take the higher road and doesn’t gloat, trash talk and even cuss.

His relentless attitude on his religion and not caring about what other people may think or say is refreshing.  He stands up for his convictions and morals which is very rare these days.  Hope has always thrived in Tim Tebow even when he was born he was a miracle in surviving the complicated pregnancy his Mother was going through.

I can truly say I respect Tim Tebow now and below are some of the examples that he has shown through quotes and positive attitude given.

 Tebow: “He reminds us that strength comes in many forms & some people have what can be described only as a gift for winning, which isn’t synonymous with any spreadsheet inventory of what it supposedly takes to win. This gift usually involves hope, confidence & a special composure, all of which keep a person in the game long enough, w/enough energy & stability, so that a fickle entity known as luck might break his or her way. For Tebow that state of mind comes from his particular relationship w/his chosen God & is a matter of religion. For someone else it might be understood & experienced as the power of positive thinking, & is a matter of psychology. Either way it boils down to stubborn optimism & bequeaths a spark. A swagger. An edge.” ~ Frank Bruni of the New York Times

“The biggest reason I don’t (consume alcohol) is because (if I have) a glass of wine, I don’t want to be responsible for a kid looking up to me and saying, ‘Hey, Tebow’s doin’ it — I am going to do it.’ And then he makes a bad decision.” – Tim Tebow via USAToday

“I don’t have to live the roller coaster other people live with my life,” Tebow says. “It’s hard because people try to have an effect. I try to stay centered in my faith and my family and the close people around me.”- Tim Tebow via USAToday

“It still was a good day because before the game I got to spend time with Zach McCleod and make him smile. Overall when you get to do that it’s still a positive day and a good day. Sometimes it’s just hard to see but it depends what lens you’re looking through. I choose to look through those lenses and I got to make a kid’s day and any time you do that, it’s more important than winning a game, so I’m proud of that.” – Tim Tebow Post Game NY Times

“Any time you’re getting beaten like that, you just continue to fight. It doesn’t change who you are, how you play, how you go out there – you should be the same at all times. That’s what I wanted to show and it didn’t matter if it was the first play or the last play or if we were down by 42, I was going to be the same player and I was going to still give everything I have because that’s all I have to give. Every time I step on the field, I’m going to give my whole heart regardless of the score.” - Tim Tebow Post Game NY Times
