752 Words4 Pages

The famous leader I have chosen is New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees. Drew Is a NFL super bowl winner, and a huge contributor to his community. Before he was a famous leader he was a huge leader with a big impact. Drew was born in Austin Texas on january 15, 1979. He went to school at westlake high school playing football with a 28-0-1 record with him starting. He lead his school to a 16-0 season followed by a state championship in 1996. Finishing up his high school career he ended with 314 of 490 passes and 5,461 total passing yards with 50 touchdowns. Once he graduated from high school Brees went to play for the purdue boilermakers in the big ten. Where he led purdue to a 2001 rose bowl game where they lost. He graduated Purdue with …show more content…

After playing for the chargers for 3 years; he was traded to the New Orleans Saints in 2005. Brees moved to the community of New Orleans After hurricane Katrina. He didn’t move to the area only because he was traded to the saints, but he moved there because he saw a community in need of help. So Brees bought a house that was badly damaged in the city. Once he bought he had it remodeled and repaired. Which isn't a huge thing to help out the community but it’s a small step in the right direction. Than Drew and his wife Brittany started the Brees Dream Foundation. The Brees dream foundation is designed for “Improving the quality of life for cancer patients, and provide care, education and opportunities for children and families in need”. Then in 2007 the brees dream foundation joined together with international children's charity operation. Which is a charity that uses donations and motivation programs to rebuild parks, academic centers, and athletic facilities plus much more. Brees dream foundation today of 2017 has contributed $25,000,000 to not only his community or country. That money has been contributed to help global causes around the world. In 2009 Drew took his leadership capabilities and pushed them to the maximum. By pushing his team and coaches to a 2009 super bowl championship and winning not only the game, but super bowl mvp as …show more content…

Personally I believe that Drew is people oriented because he didn’t just move to New Orleans only cause he got traded to play there. I think he moved to the area because he got a look at the community, and couldn't just stand by and watch the people struggle to get back to where they were before the hurricane. I this Drew falls under the cheerleader/coach category. Due to the fact that he is always caring for others personal being. While motivating them to believe when they wake up to the next day being better than the day before. And hopefully in end reaching the goal by keeping a personal interaction with

    Harden had taught Brady how to throw a football, and to develop the tools that would n\be needed at the next level. Brady’s perseverance and self-confidence allowed to excel with The Wolverines, and to eventually play in the Orange Bowl as a college career highlight. After college, Brady would remain consistent with the values of self-confidence that allowed Brady to become, yet again, another back up quarterback with the New England Patriots. No matter what role he had, Brady had given himself the opportunity to get access to the starting quarterback position in 2000 and in 2001. This is one reason why harden and the other members of Brady’s coaching staff called him the “Comeback Kid” because of his ability to win games at the last moment of the game: “So they call him the Comeback Kid” (Bellamy, 2013, p.34).
