True Heroes Walk With Quiet Confidence

This sparked my lasting distaste for excessive celebrations and "look at me" exploits, whether by athletes, politicians, or business people.  If one of our players scored a touchdown, I wanted him to walk away as if it were no big deal.  "You want it to look like you're used to being in the end zone," I would always say.  But my message was much broader.  What I was really telling those players was that true heroes walk the walk with quiet confidence.  They do the job, and then let the job they've done speak for itself.
