I'm in the corner, just a little bit faded out to emphasize my role model.

RIP Kobe, you will be missed.

Net recently sits down with a interviewer and gets comfortable. "Ask away " net said to the interviewer. The interviewer replyed "so Net what player in the NSFL you looked up too the most. Net explained that the player he looked up too the most is defiantly his own teammates Rod Tidwell. His explanation why is that Rod just grinds everyday hes a grinder. Every morning Rod gets to practice early and starts his drills, every practice he gives it all and every game he wants to give it his best. "So you looked up him so much because of his work ethic" the interviewer replied. Well that and bes just a model player in general Net explained. Every day after practice he takes time to talk to his fans and give them autographs but it doesnt look like he just doing it because he has too he generally happy to see the fans and I like player who takes the time to talk to the fans he that looks up to him. Net also explained how he is big on charity in his free time and glad to help put people in need. Net ended the conversation on how he wanted to be like Rod and work hard in and outside the feild. "Thanks for the interview Net we looking forward to see how your WR career plays out".

Growing up, Kobe Bryant was the star player that I always looked up to. His hard working mentality was what every young athlete strived for. His "Mamba Mentality" was working out everyday, putting up shots two to three hours before a game or even before the next person gets in the gym. Nobody worked harder than Kobe Bryant. When I was young, my brother and I had a nerf basketball set and we would always put up shots and scream "Kobe!" whenever we would shoot. I still to this day believe this tradition should continue as his legacy as not only a sports star, but a role model will live forevor. I am currently a Division three college soccer athlete and I strive to be the best I can be on and off the pitch. I put in work durring the offseason to be the best, as thats what I strive for.

Kobe's passing froze the entire globe for 30 seconds as we all heard the news. It was quite shocking and frankly scary. Lebron had just passed Kobe in all-time points and it was all in the news the day prior to this horrible incident. Kobe will never be forgotten and will change the current generations and the future generations despite this horrific tradegy.

As a child growing up in an unregulated sex cult, Awkward Sexjoke watched NSFL religiously. Seriously. His dad had it declared a legal religion to evade some sort of regulation. Above any other player, Awkward would watch the great Jayce Tuck destroy quarterback after quarterback. Others would so so in great numbers in those days but Jayce Tuck still stood above them all. Awkward knew in his heart that Jayce's skill, hard work, and moral fortitude were the reason. Awkward would begin working out, practicing, drawing extra copies of himself on his walls, and studying tape as he sought to become the best athlete he could to one day make it into his beloved NSFL and hopefully achieve his other dream. For his father to make direct eye contact with him.

Awkward didn't take long to realize that his body type would vary differently form his hero Jayce. Even after the completely bogus punishments and sweeping rule change that involved bringing in literal robots, Jayce had returned as a beast and finished his career as one of the most decorated player of all time and a sure fire Hall of Famer. Awkward himself watched year after year with disappointment and corrupt league officials continued to deny Tuck's excellence even as his own skills grew to such a degree that an NSFL career became realistic. He was more than excited to be drafted by all around good guy Charlie Law, former teammate of his hero. To this day, Awkward still believes in his heart that Tuck's name would one day end up enshrined where it belongs. His hopes soared when the league named it's new commissioner, who Awkward knew was incorruptible and honest.

Growing up my favorite sports Role Model was always Tedy Bruschi. Being lucky enough to be born a Patriots fan, hearing his name chanted "BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUSCHI" during games always was my favorite thing while being in the stands. He always carried himself well, was insanely athletic, and looked like a human bowling ball. This was all 2nd fiddle, though, as after Tedy's stroke in 2005, I thought my idol was going to die. Even after having a stroke, Tedy ended up returning to the Patriots and leading the 2007 18-1 (SadChamp) to a near perfect season. To this day you still see faded, ripped up reebok Tedy Brushi jerseys in the parking lot before Patriots games. He embodied the "Patriots way", and means a lot to the New England region.

After his retirement, though, Tedy has shown even more why he deserves to be my role model. Tedy founded "Tedy's team", a foundation that works to help stroke and heart disease survivors back to a normal life, and raise awareness for the recognizable symptoms of the two major health events. Even after suffering a 2nd stroke nearly 15 years after his first one this past July, Tedy returned to ESPN full time. Just like he returned to the Patriots, and introduced the football world to the Patriot way.

I do not have any "true" role models. I take and pick from aspects of society and individuals who I think are doing the right thing, but I do not have anyone I consider a "role model". Having to necessarily pick one, though, is quite easy. There are lots of great athletes out there, plenty of which show off their compassion and hearts off the field, but for me, there is one athlete who i think embodies the perfect idea and mold of a role model: Houston Texans DE/ILB, J.J. Watt.

Being a true athletic freak and die hard competitor, he is one of the most giving and one of the most engaging players in not just football but in all of the NFL. He plays toss with fans before each game, he supports many initiatives and community projects in the Houston area, and when a deadly hurricane struck Houston and almost crippled the city, he led a famous, nation wide campaign to raise funds to help. The goal for the charity drive was to only raise $20,000 - $200,000 but as of this article he has raised almost $40 MILLION for the city. J.J. is one of the most giving people and players in the world and I definitely see him as someone who is a "role model".

Venus Powers has always idolized her NSFL hero, Turk Turkleton, the Hall of Fame kicker for the Baltimore Hawks. Although she has set her sights on his career field goals record, she has never stopped in her admiration and praise for him. “To trailblaze a path for kickers around the league and dominate the league like he did, it’s always been incredibly motivating for me as a rookie kicker and throughout my entire childhood,” Venus recently spoke in a press conference. “The only 60+ yarder in NSFL history, the most field goals and extra point attempts over anyone else in the league, and obviously being the only kicker currently inducted into the Hall - Turkleton had it all. I’ve always idolized him, and it’s gonna be his career that I measure up against in the end.”

Venus also threw out the name of Cooter Bigsby as another personal favorite idol. “Obviously Cooter played for my hometown team, the San Antonio Marshals, and seeing him chuck it all over the field while I was in high school and college for them was exhilarating. He’s obviously a great leader and player and whooped our ass in our game last week - I got a handshake from him after the game so that was definitely special to me.”
