Have you heard of Clark Haggans? I havent heard of him, but i found out that he was a vital link to the fortunes of one James Harrison, feared linebacker and hitting machine for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Without a insane fierce desire to become a NFL player James harrison would not have been on this national stage for us to enjoy, or opposing players fear!
James Harrison was a undrafted rookie out of Kent State and had just about a chance to succeed as Johnny Unitas of the Colts. he was cut 3 times out of the Steelers camp before catching on the fourth time. He was unable to get a starting spot until Clark Haggans went down with a knee injury..
James Farrior, another All Pro player once remarked, "he looks lost, he would give on plays a lot." Not exactly the stuff of an NFL all pro...? Today he is in the third year of a 51 million dollar contract for six year, testament to his value to the Steeler organization.
His workouts would make a body builder cringe, and grown men cry and run away.. He not only has the desire he has built his body into a hitting machine that mows through running backs blockers and QB like melted butter!

What we can take away?
He personifies desire, white hot intense desire that made an ALL PRO out of a average preformer
He didnt listen to his detractors, most told him to go back and be a truck driver like his Dad
You grow into your destiny, not show up on game day prepackaged and ready to go!. Many people look for shortcuts and clever techniques to success, Nothing worthwhile comes easy!
Clark Haggan Im sure was a great football player at one time, but thank you James Harrison for your inspiring story. As we head into the new year, remember that your reward will be equal to your desire and how badly you want it.
