Growing up in Southern California, and being a USC Trojan fan, I definitely have never been a supporter of the Florida Gators. That being said, I do like to watch a good football game no matter who is playing and admire players that simply win and are successful in everything that they do, on and off the field. If you are a college football fan, you have to admire Tim Tebow for his accomplishments in his college football career, even if you don't necessarily agree with Tebow on other views/issues he is involved with outside of football. A two time BCS National Champion; the only sophomore to ever win the Heisman Trophy, makes it hard to not be inspired by him as a football player.
I never really followed Tebow, read anything about him but when I saw this book, " Through My Eyes" I wanted to read it. Before his rookie season, ESPN showed a special on Tebow and his road to the NFL which caught my eye and intrigued me. It showed his schedule with working out with trainers, his workouts with the NFL teams, his preparation for the NFL draft and the emotional moment being drafted by the Denver Broncos. Tebow continues to be doubted my many and scrutinized for his ability to play in the NFL. I wish him luck. Not knowing much about him, never meeting him but because of his leadership, determination and success on the football field, I have know doubt he will prove more people wrong when he gets his chance to play for the Broncos. I bought his book yesterday and have already started to read it. I am excited to finally read and understand his story, through his eyes.
