I must admit I not really a football fan… don’t get me wrong I do watch a game now and then.

However, I am a huge Drew Brees fan!

Drew is the quarterback for the NFL’s New Orleans Saints and he is an exceptional player but throwing a ball is not his greatest talent.

His ability to inspire other to “expect more” out of themselves and others you find out what I mean at the Drew Brees Foundation website:

When we met Drew talked about growing up with a facial difference and the comments and stares that often comes with looking different. Mr. Brees had a great outlook and used his difference to tap into an inner strength, a power we all have deep inside us(to be more and expect more of ourselves)but not used much these days.

When playing football at Purdue the student body would paint a “P” on their cheeks in the exact location as their beloved quarterback Drew Brees’s birthmark. His birthmark became like war paint and inspired the entire university.

Drew Brees is a great role model for any young person but for those of us that have a facial difference he is truly an inspiration to – “expect more”.
