| COURTESY OF SEAHAWKS.COM ...WHY NOT THEM??? |
21 out of the 53 players on the active roster were undrafted. This means they were looked over in combines as not being "worthy" of being selected in the NFL draft. That is almost half the team. These players had to work tirelessly and prove their worth to get on a roster. Nothing came easy for them - moving from other team's practice squads city to city, staying in temporary living conditions, making the league minimum on some weeks and no salary on others, proving they can learn the plays thrown at them, and eventually landing in Seattle with great leadership and teammates. Persistence, drive, and great work ethic gets you to levels unimaginable as long as you keep believing in yourself.
Great leadership understood the power of mental stimulation. If you are motivated and have a burning hunger to succeed, a great leader knows that distractions like poor team morale, surrounding poor work ethic, team in-cohesiveness, and others' lack of self-confidence seriously impact the ability to win a championship or accomplish great results. The stronger the mind, the more adversity one can handle. Great leaders know how to help their team members shake off the defeats. They also know how to move people off the team who have insecurities because they negatively affect the dedication of others.
Whether you want to start a new career or business or want to flourish with a promotion, the only limits are the ones you place on yourself. If almost half the Seattle Seahawks could work tirelessly to get to a championship team, so can you. You do the work and find the right leader that has your best interest at heart. The Seahawks did it - why not you?
