In the movie, Coach Boone is a master motivator. He does an excellent job of energizing his players, sustaining the motivation, directing the motivation to the right players at the right time, and also knowing when to stop motivating. The satisfaction progression hypothesis is also displayed in the movie. Coach Boone knows that the small things, such as making the routine plays in the game, must be done first before the main goal can be achieved, winning the game. He also has a high expectancy of his team. He believes that the effort of his team will lead to performance and that the performance will lead to results. He expects his team to practice just as hard as they play in the game. Julius Campbell and Gary Bertier, the two main characters on the team, are also excellent motivators. They get their teammates pumped up before and during the game.

What a difference a year makes for the Carolina Panthers and coach Ron Rivera. Last season we were just starting our magical run just realizing our potential and proving to the NFL that we were a team that needed to be taken seriously. Fast forward a year we are chasing perfection and have a legitimate shot at the Lombardi trophy with the playoffs potentially coming through the Queen city. The players are the ultimate deciders of what happened with game by game, but I feel when coach Ron Rivera adopted his alter ego riverboat Ron taking chances going for it on fourth downs putting trust in his guys to make the plays and ready to take the criticism if they didn't work out.

With the first pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts selected Peyton Manning. Peyton's background looked to set him up for a great career from the start. Manning was talked up to be a great player, and he has proved himself throughout the years. While already being one of the most known quarterbacks in NFL history, Peyton is also considered by many to be the greatest of all time. Peyton Manning is the best quarterback in NFL history because of the following: he's humble on and off the field, he's resilient through neck injuries and surgeries, and he holds a lot of NFL records.

Tony Dungy is a highly respected pillar in the athletic community. Breaking barriers throughout his coaching carrier; he was propelled into the spotlight when he became the first African American coach to win a Super Bowl title. Shortly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI came much intrigue into his coaching style and personal life. Many wondering how he gained the respect of all his players and produced positive results while maintaining a calm demeanor. In his book, Quiet Strength, Tony Dungy speaks on the importance of faith and family. Emphasizing the power of prayer, commitment, and patience within faith. As well as the impact of his family on his career, that ultimately changed the path he had preferred for himself.

If I were anybody in the world I would be Tom Brady and here are some reasons why. He has succeeded so much during his career. He is claimed to be one of the greatest of all time. He is very very rich. Here are some reasons why I would be Tom Brady.

When people think of Mike Vick they think of a dogfighter, well that's not entirely true he isn't all a dog fighter. Vick is also a great NFL running quarterback. Michael Dwayne Vick was born in Newport Virginia. He didn't realize the skill that he had until he was in 7th grade. When he went to high school he was the second best quarterback in Virginia, he was the second because the 1st was Ronald Curry.

When asked who is the greatest coach to lead a NFL team to the Super Bowl, Vince Lombardi’s name would be mentioned. He took the worst team in the NFL and transformed them to be the best. His team succeeded to win 6 divisional titles, 5 NFL championships, and 2 back to back Super Bowls. Vince Lombardi was both a visionary and ethical leader by leading his team through a new way of systematic thinking and obstacles. In this essay, I will state claims on how he became a visionary leader. Two core concepts came to play while researching his life. The first was how he displayed inspirational motivation while guiding his players to the Super Bowl and painting a vision. Secondly, he displayed team dimensions by knowing how to balance a team and also earning mutual respect. Later, I will state claims on how he was an ethical leader. First, he used reflective thinking, system 2 in critical thinking by using some decision making no one has ever used to ultimately win the Super Bowl. He also used the Three P’s (principles, purpose, and people) concept in the ethical leadership lesson on how he used those three principles to reach a common goal and display excellence in all we do. Additionally, I will tie his visionary and ethical leadership styles into my personal relevance and use some examples. Finally, I will conclude with a summary of the main points and end with a couple of quotes.

As the movie progressed and Coach Boone’s vision came together, Coach Yoast slowly but surely began to show more support. Coach Boone’s consistent preaching, that he did not view the team as black and white players, but instead, simply as football players who must form cohesion and take actions not for self, but for team, eventually rubbed off on Coach Yoast. This is where the culture in the coaching staff began to form. Trust also began to build and the three coaches, now more cohesive themselves were able to accomplish much more in order to coach their players much more constructively. By the time the Titans had made it to the championship, all three coaches had put their differences aside, bought in to the vision and culture, and were able to coach their players to victory.

To have a well-formed plan to becoming a great leader in the NFL, there needs to be a base characteristic to succeed. The first "M" that Tony Dungy has implemented in his leadership style is mandate (Dungy, 2010). This "M" to succeed in the NFL is to put people first. Mandating needs to become second nature to create the base of a leader and being selfless. This can be achieved when a football player

When Chuck Pagano started he showed great promise with his first three seasons, winning eleven games in each season. He and Andrew Luck both started in 2012, which leaves one to believe the Colts getting the number one overall draft pick and a new coach would definitively lead to success. For the first few years this was the case, but when the Colts failed to win in the playoffs, and injuries damaged a seemingly good team, the quality of Coach Pagano came into question. While the problems seemed like coaching, they actually came from a deeper problem caused by the meddlesome Ryan Grigson.

In the poem, FootBall, Louis Jenkins conveys the idea of football not being called soccer. He does this by using different stylistic features in the poem. To support my thesis, I will begin by explaining, that it is called football because you play it with the foot. “This is not football, it’s a shoe a man’s brown leather oxford”- Louis Jenkins.

"We both felt like the Indianapolis Colts were a better fit for us. Jim Irsay's phone message had touched both of us. We decided that God was continuing the football dream for the Dungys." This stood out to me because he puts so much faith into God. Instead of him looking for a job and stressing out, he just sits there and let decide what he should do next. Event thought he liked coaching he is willing to wait until God decided what to do with
