The Me He Wants to Be

Tim Tebow, who many consider to be the greatest college football player ever, has a desire to be The ME He Wants to Be – and that is an NFL quarterback. He knows that he must make changes for this to become a reality, and he said he is willing to do whatever it takes. Here are some of Tim’s thoughts on becoming The ME I Want to Be:
"I'm not changing who I am or how I approach football," Tebow said Sunday night from Nashville, Tenn., where he has been busy remaking the style that was good enough to win one Heisman Trophy and two national championships at Florida, “but there are things that I can get a lot better at – my fundamentals. I've never been asked to shorten or quicken my release and not have a loop in it. The changes I'm making have gone very well and it's becoming more and more natural to me."

When asked if he would have embarked on such an extensive and exhausting process had his performance at the Senior Bowl not been so roundly criticized, Tebow said, "Probably, just because of the quarterback coaches I've been working with. I want to get better. I want to be around people who will push me. I will do anything to get better. Without hearing the criticism, I would have done it. It's made me more confident, more accurate.”

Here are some questions to ponder in making sure you are intentional in becoming The ME I Want to Be:
  • What three changes in me would be most pleasing to God?
  • What is the single best measureable indicator that I am making progress toward being the me I want to be?
  • What three changes could I make to see a 50% difference in our morale as a family?
  • What three landmines or roadblocks need my immediate attention? What three changes could reduce my “risk” by 50%?
