An excerpt from Finish Strong by Dan Green It was a perfect day for surfing off the coast of Maui. A 13 year old surfing protégé had just finished riding a twenty foot wave and was lying face down on her surf board. Preparing to paddle out to catch another wave, her thoughts of becoming a professional surfer shifted in an instant. Without warning, she felt a tug on her left arm and in a split second she realized that she'd been attacked by a shark.

As she struggled to gain her composure she realized something even more horrifying - the fourteen foot tiger shark had bitten clean through her board, taking her left arm in a single bite. At that moment in time, survival and not surfing became a priority.

Bethany Hamilton learned to surf at the age of 4. When she was 8, she entered her first contest and won both of the events that she competed in. At the age of 10 she placed 1st in the "11-under girls," 1st in the "15-under girls," and 2nd in the "12-under boys" division at the Volcom Puffer Fish contest. She was determined to become a professional surfer and was certainly on track to make it happen. Then, in one violently swift moment on that fall day in 2003, it seemed her dreams would be shattered.

However, Bethany was born with the heart of a lion and the competitive spirit of a thoroughbred. She was determined to return to the water to surf. Leaning on support from her friends, family and her faith in God, Bethany recovered rapidly and within ten weeks from the attack was surfing again. Convinced she could overcome her physical challenge, she worked hard to learn to surf around her disability. But she also had to overcome the psychological fear of another attack. Bethany would face her fears by singing and praying when she was out on the water.

Incredible as it seems, less than a year from her attack, Bethany returned to competition taking first place at the National Surfing Championships and first place at the first event for the Hawaii National Scholastic Surfing Association. She was recognized by ESPN in 2004 and received an ESPY award for Best Comeback Athlete of the year.

Bethany's ability to overcome her physical and mental challenges puts her in an elite class of achievers. She chose to...Finish Strong.

Finish Strong in the Super Bowl with Drew Brees and the Saints By Dr. John R. Myers

Great leaders are an inspiration. This weekend our nation will enjoy seeing the two great leading football teams paired up against each other here in sunny South Florida. The New Orlean's Saints are led by QB Drew Brees and Peyton Manning is the QB for the Indianapolis Colts.

Being a Purdue Boilermaker myself, I am pumped to see Drew Brees in the Big Game. However, as a born Hoosier from the great state of Indiana, I would enjoy seeing Peyton Manning bring the Colts to victory. Either way, I will be happy. On the one hand, it would be great to see the Saints win. New Orleans could use the boost on so many levels. But, have you ever been in Indiana during the dead of winter? Believe me...Indiana could use the boost! It all comes down to great leadership.
Last November I was in Atlanta for a meeting with Fran Tarkenton. Before the meeting started he said, "I just got off the phone with Archie Manning. He has two fantastic sons who also are fantastic quarterbacks." Then he said, "They are originals. They act on gut instinct combined with honed talent. They are two of the best in professional football today." Then he said, "I'll tell you who else is in the same league. Drew Brees. I wouldn't be surprised to see Brees and the Saints, as well asl Peyton and the Colts in the Big Game this Februrary 7th."

Fran Tarkenton, a great quarterback himself, as well as a dynamic businessman and humanitarian, knows the game of football. He knows great leadership. And he called it right.
