LaDainian Tomlinson



After watching Sundays Game, The San Diego Chargers at Tennessee Titans I am very inspired by LaDainian Tomlinson's performance. We we're down 2 touchdowns in the beginning of the fourth quarter but through out the game you can see LT playing with an aggression, he wanted to win. That's why I had faith that they would win. Philip Rivers turned up his aggressiveness in the fourth quarter. We scored two touchdowns to tie it up 9 seconds before the last quarter ended. We went to Overtime where LT exploded through the defense and scored the winning touchdown, CHARGERS WIN!!!

Watching LT play really inspired me. The symbolism of him running down the field to score the TD is going the extra mile to get what you want. The blockers, the lineman, the Quarterback, the receivers, the tight end, the full back, are those who supported you.

I really look up to LT. He's a better person in the community as well. He always gives back. Last Thanks Giving he was giving away Turkey's. In fact the whole San Diego Chargers Team gives back. Philip Rivers, Kris Dielman, Kassim Osgood along with Bill Pollakov gave Free Bikes to a whole elementary school. I'm sure those kids were really happy. Mike Scifres, Jaucques Cesaire and Malcom Floyd joined the Charger Girls to sell newspapers to raise money for Rady's Children Hospital. The article can be found here.

LT's character on the field and off the field really inspire me and I admire him. He's a great person. He even pays respect to those he admired and idolized when he was kid. Last week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, he tied Walter Payton for career touchdown by running in for his 110'th TD. He then ran another TD to pass Walter Payton's record with 111 career rushing touchdowns. LT is third all time. After the game, he did a news conference wearing Payton's Jersey paying tribute. I want to do that. Pay tribute to those that help me out. LT also knows Vision is important, as you can see in the YouTube Video. You know where you're going when you have a Vision.

LT is always breaking records, not to mention he was the NFL League's MVP last season. He is the first player to Run 1000 yards and have 100 receptions in one season(2003), he's ran for more that 10,000 career yards, he holds the record for most rushing touchdowns in a season(2006) with 28 touchdowns and has more. As for now, he wants to win a SuperBowl.

LT is the MAN!!!
