Coming Back Stronger By Drew Brees Synthesis Page

Mentor:  All of Drew’s high school and college coaches over the years. They have helped him with so much and taught him all he knows about football.  Drew’s coaches have been there to mentor him through good and bad. One of his coaches, Greg Olsen gave him words of advice after a tough game, “You’re going to be a great player in this league someday.” That was a turning point for Drew, and after that he had much more confidence.

Mother Figure:  Drew’s wife Brittany gives Drew guidance and comforts him when he’s down about a game. After one particular game after drew got home there were post-its all over the house. They said, “You’re the greatest! You’re the best! Best husband ever! The best quarterback! You can’t keep a good man down!” Brittany was always there for Drew after tough games and tough experiences. She helped Drew rebound.

Father Figure:  Sean Payton, Drew’s coach in New Orleans was always there for Drew once he and Brittany moved to New Orleans. He always asked if they needed anything, he would always give them recommendations for places to go. He welcomed Drew with an open heart and immediately let Drew adapt the offense to Drew’s likings and Drew’s needs. Sean is always there to help drew become a better player. He constantly works with him so that he can be the best player that he can be.

Warrior: Drew is a warrior because he faces physical challenges and overcomes them. He sufferers a serious shoulder injury and then heals and wins a super bowl for the suffering city of New Orleans. After hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the city needed a hero to liven the moods of all of the citizens that were displaced by Katrina. Drew took at team that had never won a playoff game before to the super bowl, and they won. Drew brought happiness, excitement and joy to a city that had just suffered a devastating blow.

Quest for Acceptance:  Drew came to New Orleans as a football hero but as he made the team better, he became a hero to the citizens of New Orleans. Drew was accepted into the city when he was picked up as a free agent, but he quickly emerged as a hero to the people of New Orleans
