After Sunday’s Denver Broncos game, nothing is more certain than the power of the Tebow Effect.
Bouncing back in the last three minutes of a football game is nearly impossible, especially when the team is down by 15 and are continuously being stomped on offense.
That, however, did not stop quarterback Tim Tebow from leading the Broncos to a comeback victory in overtime against the Miami Dolphins.
His mechanics were sloppy, third down conversions were minimal, but the hope he brought to his coaches and teammates was enough to overcome the odds.
That is what the Tebow Effect is.
It’s the ability to be inspired by one person to do something great.
This isn’t an uncommon occurrence.
Many teams have players they draw energy from and that is the real key to winning any game.
You need someone who can force action when you want to give up and who can inspire you to be better than you believe you are.
That person does not have to be the biggest, strongest or fastest; they just have to have the drive and a contagious love for the game.
It is what every team really needs to have any success during its season.
Fighting the impossibility and the ability to bring individuals together and create a team atmosphere is what makes Tebow outstanding.
When games are at their bleakest, Tebow is at his best, because he will not let anyone accept defeat.
It is also a life lesson.
When life is at its toughest, you must have the strength to carry on and keep faith.
When you give up on yourself, you have lost all hope of finding your way out of the darkness.
The best part of the game in Miami was seeing the Broncos sideline fired up.
When most teams would have had their heads down, the Broncos were still in the game. Through the frustration of being down, they never let the thought of a loss push them out of the game.
Even when everything looks impossible, look to that person who will force your head up.<br/>
The Tebow Effect is not just a football term; it is an outlook on life.
Everyone needs to put their belief somewhere and for the Denver Broncos’ team and fans, that means putting it in their unorthodox quarterback, Tim Tebow.
No one knows where this season will take Tebow, but the effect of his presence is what makes the game inspiring.
