Manziel, Keenum and The Code

Two weeks ago quarterback Case Keenum was deer hunting on a day off as a member of the St. Louis Rams practice squad. He was traded to the Houston Texans,and less than a week later started and won as their quarterback, and then again won this past Sunday. Meanwhile, Johnny Manziel has been going through a tough time, and is apologizing for not trying harder and being better prepared. Does the Code have anything to say about this? You could say, “I will develop my skills to the best of my ability” applies; or, you might say, “I will display caring and honorable behavior…” or “I will be a positive influence on my teammates…”   Case Keenum is an example of a very talented young athlete who could not quite make it, but kept working and developing his skills. When his opportunity came, he was able to succeed. It’s the old story of the “Little Engine That Could.” What are some ways that you are trying to succeed, but are not successful yet? Will you keep on keeping on?
