19th+Century+Hero+John+Heisman

​A Hero to me is someone who is athletic or has done something incredible in the time he lived.

John Heisman

Do you have a hero? Teen's are always looking for a hero or someone to look up to. John Heisman is someone I look up to. For many reasons. He's my hero becasue the heisman trophy award was named after him. The Heisman Award goes to the best college player of the year. For exmaple last year it was Sam Bradford, QB of the Oklahoma Sooners. Also John Heisman is a hero because he played college football and was really good. He coached with 5 teams inside of 8 years and in those 8 years he lost only a total of 6 games. Also he coached other teams but that was in the 20th Century.  []

John Heisman was born on October 13, 1869 in Clevland, Ohio. He helped college football by playing to the best of his ability and to never give up. Also to never get enough of the game. Because he played in college then when he was done he coached. So he was never complacent. Because he had a desire to do his best and to help football grow and play the game the way an athlete would. This was important becasue it kind of shows a message, if your not going to play hard, dont play it at all. Give it all you got like its the last time you'll play, because someday it will be your last.  [] []

The thing that makes my person a hero is his abilty and his mentality for the game of football. John Heisman matches my hero definition because my hero definition is "Somebody who is athletic and has done something valuable in his life". John Heisman was very athletic and was unbeleivable at football. He was honored to college football and a trophy was named after him. The Heisman Trophy. He also coached to help others to get better at the game. He coached Georgia Tech to 3 Division Titles and 1 National Championship. John Heisman was unaleivable at football because he practiced alot and put his heart into the game. He was a great coach, most known for his 16 seasons with Georgia Tech where he had went undefeated 3 times. Also he had only one losing season hios whole coaching career. It was with Rice. Which he was getting old by then. "When you find your opponent's weekspot, hammer it". [|http://wikipedia.orgn./wiki/Heisman_//Trophy//] [|//http://thinkexist.com/quotes/john_heisman//]

Another thing that makes my person a hero is that he was known to be tyhe most hardworking and bes football athlete of his time. It meets my definition because a hero to me is someone who is athletic and has done something succcesful in the time they lived. John Heisman is known as a boy with a ball and a dream. Also John Heisman worked so hard. everyday he was outside playing football or get stronger, he was doing anything that would make him better at the game. On a couple of websites I looked at it said that players who played him saw his hardwork and his desire for the game and that he put all his skill into his play. Another one ofhis qoutes is "Gentalmen, its better to die a small boy then to fumble the football". []

Someone who would not think he is a hero is his opponets, other then that knowone really dislikes him. They tryeds to stop my hero by beating him in football whether he was Heisman was coaching or playing. My hero avoided being squished by beating his opponets. By working hard and never giving up. He had a record of 190-70-16 in his coaching career. Thats very good. [] []
