A Transition

What started as a “Promise” to his teammates to step up his own game, Tim Tebow’s commitment to his teammates and fans has created a culture of high expectations. During the first minutes of the game, the ESPN announcers commented on the attitude of the younger players. ”The wide receivers are sick and tired if being referred to as the team’s big “?”. They are looking to step up and show that they are ready to fill in the vacant positions.”

After the loss to Ole Miss, the focus was certainly on Tebow, now it is time to turn the attention to the team. A point of view that I am sure Gainesville’s Superman would appreciate.

As much as we want to see Tebow for 60 minutes each Saturday, the less we see him equals additional “practice” time for our second, third and fourth stringers. While their Moms and Dads are thrilled to see their babies on the field, the coaches and the fans are getting a sneak peak at the future of this team. The opportunity to play the bench and place these players in high stress situations where their failure on the field can only lead to growth, well…one thought does come to mind… Induction, nothing beats growing your own.

Makes me wonder how school leaders develop their "players".
