If there was any sports personality that I would look up to as a role model it would be New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees. Brees has shown great perseverance, loyalty, and leadership during his lifetime and sports career. When people think of Drew Brees they think of the huge passing yards and his accuracy. Not many people think back to the major injury in San Diego and the concern he may never throw a football again. Despite the injury and the doubt Drew got to New Orleans and began to fight. He had the determination and perseverance in him to work through this injury, the pain, and the doubt. Once Brees got to New Orleans he wasn’t settled on just being a starting NFL QB he wanted to help rebuild the city destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. He started change the Culture of the team, embrace the city and the culture around him. Much like Brees I’d like to incorporate these characteristic into my own life. The ability to work through the bad situations to end up in something better, the leadership to help others and build up others. Lastly the loyalty. Brees has mentioned this offseason that he will either return a Saint or retire, I appreciate he has that loyalty to the community and the fans. They put their faith and into him and he appreciates that and is not returning the favor.
