Tim Tebow on His Motivations

From the essential Alligator Army:

"Being a role model is huge. That’s so much more important than scoring touchdowns or trying to win championships because at the end of the day, that’s just a game. If you can encourage someone, inspire someone and put a smile on their face, that’s actually meaningful. That actually changes peoples' lives, and that’s what I’m in it for."

-- Tim Tebow, from a speech at the Winged Foot Scholar-Athlete Award banquet.

Tebow's new book comes out Tuesday. Already getting emails from folks who pre-ordered the autographed version and it has arrived at their houses. Full review and coverage coming all next week.
