I’m always on the lookout for talented athletes with high self-esteem because they are the ones who perform close to their skill levels on a consistent basis. And one of their characteristics (in addition to having excellent eye contact) is: they speak their minds. Robert Griffin III of the Washington Redskins is one of those athletes. Of course, it’s important that he have the skill level (which he does) but as we all know there are many athletes out there who have the talent but never reach peak performance because they are withholding (bottling-up) their feelings and emotions. Not so with Robert. If he stays healthy, and continues to say what’s on his mind, watch for him to have a fantastic NFL season.
