Jim HarbaughWhen I was 17, I made the decision to have a good attitude. I was a junior in high school; the coach said I was going to be the captain of my basketball team. I thought โ that surprised me because I wasnโt the best player. John Thomas was better than me, and I was probably second or third best player. And I kept thinking, โWhy am I going to be the captain?โ I think everybody else was thinking that too. And the coach then answered, โThe reason John is going to be the captain is he has the best attitude on the team. He encourages others, he believes we can win, he never gives up.โ

And once I got hurt I started doing other things for a while.

His cautious, conservative approach to every situation and the complexity of the plays he sends in do seem to reflect the philosophy of a pilot trained to doggedly press on according to plans laid down before takeoff. I sometimes wonder how the Cowboys would have fared all this years had Tom flown fighters in combat situations which dictated continuously changing tactics.
