Deshaun Watson and the Code

Clemson fans are celebrating Deshaun Watson’s stellar performance as the quarterback of the National Champion Tigers.  The only thing that is as important in Deshaun’s opinion is the work that he does for Habitat for Humanity.  As a child he grew up in public housing surrounded by crime and drugs, but when his mother Deann learned that through community service and hard work she could qualify for a Habitat House, she signed up.  After giving over 300 hours of volunteer service she earned the privilege of  a house.  When the day came for the ceremony to receive the key, they were all surprised to find out that NFL great Warrick Dunn’s foundation had provided the funds for furniture and food to get them going. Deshaun and his siblings grew up in that Habitat house, giving him a new neighborhood and a better opportunity.  He says, “that house became our home, and gave hope to us all.”  Before his name was a household word he was already leading the team in volunteer days.  Additionally, he told the Habitat leadership that he would like to speak to all the Habitat young people about taking advantage of the opportunities before them, and avoiding the bad choices that are all around: 300 people showed up the first time!  Deshaun has become the face and a major advocate for Habitat in the Greenville/Clemson area of South Carolina.  Winning More Than The Game!  What can you learn from him?  How/what difference can you make?
