Be Tough

Christian life is just like running in a race, it’s just like a sports game, as St Paul tells us in his letter to the Corinthians, “. . . run in such a way that you may win . . . exercise self-control in all things . . . Corinthians 9:24-27)

Hunger for winning should be the driving force of everyone in living out the Gospel.

I get inspiration for my hunger for winning in the National Football League. I get too many inspirations from the different teams competing to win the Super Bowl. Winning this is culmination of the tournament in the largest professional American football league in the world. (Since its foundation during the twenties)

The largest professional American football league in the world, NFL was founded in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (the league changed the name to the National Football League in 1922).

The following are my top three pick of players all coming from California 49ners.

Shaun Hill (born on January 9, 1980 in Parsons, Kansas) is an NFL quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. He attended the University of Maryland and played for the Minnesota Vikings in 2002 until 2006. He was then signed by 49ers and playing for the same as of this time. He is best known for scoring a touchdown on first NFL drive (December 9, 2007).

Scott McKillop (born March 4, 1986 in Monroeville, Pennsylvania) is an American football linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers. He played for the University of Pittsburgh, he was considered as one of the top prospects linebaker in the 2009 NFL Draft and went in the fifth round

In his first season as a starter, the 6-foot-2, 245-pound "Mike" linebacker enjoyed one of the most productive seasons ever by a Pitt defender, finishing with 151 total tackles, the third highest single-season total in Pitt history.

He was leading candidate for the country's top defensive awards in 2008.

Kentwan Balmer (born on October 15, 1986 in Weldon, North Carolina) is a defensive end for the San Francisco 49ers.

He played during his college years for the North Carolina Tar Heels. He played high school football at Weldon High School in Weldon, North Carolina.
