What athlete do you admire the most because of their accomplishments?
It doesn't have to be your favorite athlete, because mine isn't, but I suppose it most likely would be.
I admire Tiger Woods. He's not my favorite golfer, but I feel that he is one of the most mentally and physically fit people in the world. His mental toughness and his physical toughness are almost incomparable. He's even been named the most fit man in America recently. His commitment to being the best golfer has obviously paid off, since he is the highest paid athlete in the world.

Marco Materazzi (Italian Soccer Player) because of the headbutt incident... He didn't need to knock someone to the ground because he was angry.

Walter Peyton, called sweetness was the greatest all time NFL rusher until Smith broke his record. He never missed a game he never had an all pro line blocking for him like E. Smith had his entire career. Jim Brown had teh same thing so I think Walter Peton is my favorite Football Player his life was cut short by kidney failure.

Jesse Owens for going to the 1936 Olympics and proving Hitler wrong about black people being inferior to whites by winning four gold medals.

Rod Smith a former Denver Bronco, he wasn't the best but he was a great leader and a valuble source of inspiration.
