"Dedication, hard work, and motivation" are just some of the characteristics needed to achieve goals in life, football being one of them. Football is a tough sport in which special characteristics are needed such as discipline, mental toughness, and physical toughness.
To get more insight on what it takes to become an NFL player, I interviewed Marion Butts. Butts played college football at Florida State University before being drafted in the 7th round by the San Diego Chargers. He ended up playing running back in the NFL for seven years for the San Diego Chargers, New England Patriots, and Houston Oilers. He went to two Pro Bowls during his career.
If anyone knows what it takes to be successful in the NFL, Marion Butts is the guy. In our interview, Butts provided valuable insight on being a successful running back. Butts answered almost every question with the opinion that "dedication, hard work, and motivation are the most important characteristics for success in the NFL." When asked what he would change about his career, he responded, "nothing." He loved his experience in the NFL and the joy being able to wake up everyday to something he loved doing. He also gave valuable advice to anyone looking to become successful: "If your parents ask you to take out the trash, do it and do not ask questions. Respect and discipline will get you a long way."
