Going The Extra Mile

The off season hill

Walter Payton of the Chicago Bears was known for this off season hill. He would run up that steep hill no matter how hot and humid it was or how muddy it got. He charged up that hill over and over. He was challenged by fellow team mates and even other players from in the league but after a short period they would quit from exhaustion. He was obsessed with conquering that hill and urged everyone to keep on till they dropped and then he would go a few more times and when he felt that he to had had enough then he would go one more time. He played that way in football season as well. He fought for every yard and on his way down he would put that ball in front of him gaining every inch. Walter Payton was inducted to the hall of fame for going the extra mile.
