November 1, 2009 marked ten years since the great Walter Payton passed away. So, why am I am I posting something about a football player on a baseball team's website? I think our players (or anyone for that matter) can learn much from how Walter Payton defined a winner:
“If you ask me how I want to be remembered, it is as a winner…a winner is somebody who gave his best effort, who has tried the hardest they possibly can…who has utilized every ounce of energy and strength within them to accomplish something. It doesn’t mean that they accomplished it or failed. It means they’ve given it their best. That’s a winner." – Walter Payton
As a tribute to Payton, the Chicago Bears prepared a video which you may view by clicking HERE. The extraordinary effort that Payton gave on the field is evident in many of these highlights.
