I said this is related to the setting because Tim always played his home games at Florida aka the Swamp. He committed there and played there for his whole college career. He loved to hear the crowd and got his first collegiate passing and rushing touchdowns there.

This is where Tim Tebow grew up. He said he lived on a big farm where he worked out all the time in the grass with non weight type of equipment. He loved playing with his dog and throwing the football outside.

This is the ring Tim Tebow got. He beat Ohio State in the BCS National Championship game 41-14. They completely dominated and what made it so special was they haven't won a National Championship game since 1996. Tim had 2 touchdowns in this game but the other quartback Chris Leak won the MVP of the game. Tim was proud to win this National Championship game but that would not be his last.

While Tim was in middle school he got homes schooled by his mom. This led him to be smart because his mom was a teacher and it was kinda like having a private tutor. He loved being home schooled because he had a lot of time to get better at sports and a lot of time to workout and spend more time with family. Eventually he went to high school at Neas High school and then became a 5 star quarterback.

This is the Denver broncos stadium and this was where Tim got drafted. He was picked number 25 in the first round by the Broncos. He was glad he was on a winning team and brought everything he possibly could for the team. He was so happy and joyful that he filled out his life long dream, making the NFL.

This is Tim's favorite verse and he wore it while he played in college. He popularized this verse to the whole world. He loved spreading the gospel and sharing the word of God. He even has a story exactly one year later when he first put on John 3:16 he threw in a game 316 yards his average rush was 3.16 and the time of possession was 31.6 minutes. This was crazy to him. This could be something only God could do. He loved God very much and many people started to believe in God after what he had said.

Quote #1

zh497 — 2025-02-28 16:11:57 UTC

Tim said "As I got older and heard kids talk about wanting to fit in or wanting to be normal, I never quite understood why they felt that way. What's the point of being normal? That sounds average to me, and I never felt like I was created to be average." Tim was saying this because he knew and even says it later in the book that he doesn't want to be like an ordinary kid. He always knew God had a plan for him and he worked 10 times harder than everyone. He always wants to be different and better than what people want to be.

This is on page 15.

Quote #2

zh497 — 2025-02-28 16:19:49 UTC

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.” This is what Tim Tebow always said and went by. It is known as his most famous quote he has said. He always said when he preaches to churches or groups of people. This is what he went by when he was younger and when he was in college. Lots of athletes go by this quote. This means if you work hard for something you will reach it. You can be 6,9 and super athletic, but if you don't put in the work or train hard for what you want you probably won't do anything for the thing you're working towards. He always wanted to be better so he trained more and more everyday. This was on page 31 and at the end of the book.

Theme

zh497 — 2025-03-03 13:19:16 UTC

The theme is even if no one believes in you, put in the work and you can do anything. Believe in what God will do in your life. I said this because Tim when he was a freshman playing for his high school he got moved to linebacker even when he wanted to play quarterback. No one said he would be the quarterback, but he believed he could and went to a state championship and became a 5 star. He believed in God and put work in and he became quarterback.

My Rating

zh497 — 2025-03-03 16:23:33 UTC

I rated this book 5 stars because it talked a lot about pushing yourself to your dreams. Even when you something bad happens let God do the work in your life and he will let good things happen. This had a lot of cliffhangers and action in it. He told a lot about how his games were and what he won and what he did outside of football. He always put God first in this book and tried to give others what he could like being kind to them, giving stuff away, and just sharing the gospel. He was a very spiritual and kind man and always put God first and then family but sports always came third. He always wanted to be better and this pushed me to be better and work for the things I desire. There are a lot of life lessons in this book but my favorite is God will be there for you no matter what. This is one of my favorite books I have ever read.

Dear Tim Tebow,

Tim I really loved your book and I really liked how you wrote about how God changed your life. I really wanted to know how and why you worked so hard. I really want to be like you and your mentality and work ethic is one of the best I've ever seen. You have really inspired me to be better. What you say about God is really inspiring and you make a good argument of why he is real. This book has changed my life and I really wanted to thank you for it. It's incredible how much talents you have. NFL QB, Pastour, Book writer, missionary. It's incredible what you do. You are one of my favorite professional sports athletes ever.

My choice

I said this because Tim made sure to always go to Church on Sunday. He was a part time pasture. He loved to talk and spread the gospel and he always used real life things that happened to him. He was a Godly man and put God first.

My Choice

I put this because vs Ole Miss he debuted the PHIL 4:13 verse. He was in the locker room deciding what to wear in the game and he decided to wear black tape and put PHIL 4:13. This popularized this verse and it got a lot of attention. Tebow loved to show the word of God and then it became his most famous verse John 3:16. He loved this verse and in his life he always went by this verse. Millions of people searched this verse up and by this small act Tim led to many people giving their life to Christ.

My Choice

I wrote this because this a Denver Broncos game and that is where Tim played in the NFL. He got picked with the 25th overall picked in the 2010 draft. He was pretty good and a great role player but was never outstanding like he was in college. He still changed peoples lives even if it wasn't with football. He made an impact on and off the field. The gif is them chanting Defense because the Broncos always have the best defense in the league.

What my book's about/Theme

zh497 — 2025-03-05 18:08:40 UTC

My book is about Tim Tebow. It is his was to college and to the NFL. When he was young he always worked really hard. He did 400 push ups and sit ups a day! He loved sports. He played baseball which he almost chose over football and football, track, and more. He loved playing quarterback and always threw the ball around with his dad in the backyard. He loved playing the sport but when he was a freshman they put him at linebacker. This made Tim more dedicated and he worked harder and eventually became a 5 star quarterback that committed to the University of the Florida Gators. In his freshman year, which was 2006, he didn't see the field as a starter but still came in on some crucial plays. He won 2 championships with Florida in 2006 and 2008 and he won the Heisman trophy in 2007. The Heisman trophy is like the best player in the world. Then he got drafted with the 25th pick by the Denver Broncos and had a bad first season going 4-11. He loved to worship God and was a part time Pasteur and loved doing charity stuff. His favorite thing to do was read the Bible and spend time with his family. He always went by what God said and knew God had a plan for him. The author believes that if you work hard and believe in what God says, you can do anything you want just with a little hard work. I think this is the theme because Tim always says that he had to push through a lot of things to reach the college level. He did this even when he was a kid and did it until he was in the NFL. He was a big inspiration to a lot of kids and even adults. He is one of God's followers and does everything for and through him. He goes on a lot of mission trips after football season and does everything for him.
