This is an article about the Indianapolis Colts and their main player Peyton Manning. Many years ago they weren't sure whether to add Peyton to the team or take a different player. They both had incredible physical skills, but something else separated them. One is a Super Bowl MVP, the other does not even play anymore.
Talk about making the right personnel decisions. Moore talked at the Super Bowl about how tough the Colts' decision was whether to take Ryan Leaf of Washington State or Peyton Manning of Tennessee with their first draft choice in 1999. The scouting services had Leaf ranked No. 1. "Well, you know, we worked both of them out. We went down to Knoxville and worked Peyton out and went to Pullman, Washington, or Washington State actually, where Ryan Leaf went to school," Moore said. "Bill Polian [team general manager] made the right decision, and we're very, very fortunate and very, very happy."
Leaf was drafted by San Diego and was out of football after four years and virtually no success.
Moore joined the Colts staff the year that Manning was drafted so he has been with the star quarterback from day one.
Asked about the key to Manning's success, Moore said: "Well, I think it's, No. 1, his great ability, but he takes that ability to another level with his dedication, with his work ethic. You know he's constantly trying to improve himself, to get better. He's really never satisfied, so he continues to work."

Jim said..."Oh the value of our I.D.(inspired dissatisfaction)!!!
"Good enough" will never be good enough for me ever again because of the powerful influences on my life since coming into OurGV. It isn't just one thing either but the combination of the way the company is designed & the incredible indisputable track record of our leadership, including the accomplishments of our Executive Directors. Then the constant reiforcement of the real time truth we get every day in our trainings and the unmeasurable transformation from the Advanced Trainings have built into me a real habit of constantly expecting more of myself. I am winning my own superbowl every day & I am so thankful for you for believing in me like someone else believed in Peyton Manning."
Oh yeah!!!! That's me. Thank you!
That story is a shinning example for us!! Work ethic will pay in the end!! Thank you.
