Who should we consider as winners? Do winners have perfect undefeated seasons? Here is how the late football legend Walter Payton described winners:
“If you ask me how I want to be remembered, it is as a winner. You know what a winner is? A winner is somebody who has given his best effort, who has tried the hardest they possibly can, who has utilized every ounce of energy and strength within them to accomplish something. It doesn't mean that they accomplished it or failed, it means that they've given it their best. That's a winner.” - Walter Payton
