Peyton Manning - Being there for his Teammates

“Being there every day for my teammates is really important to me. It's about accountability.”
- Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos

 Peyton Manning's work ethic, attention to detail, and relentless pursuit of perfection is well known.  I remember hearing Brad Stevens speak at a basketball coaching clinic and he was talking about the opportunity he had to visit the Colts facility when Manning was still playing for Indianapolis. It was off-season, 8am, and veterans like Peyton Manning were not required to be there at this point, but Peyton Manning was there.  Brad Stevens found him in a film room with the other quarterbacks running the film session and talking through the details of hand-offs and play-action.  Peyton Manning had nothing to prove at that point in his career having already been a Superbowl Champion, MVP, multiple pro-bowl appearances, but he felt it was important to be there working with his teammates anytime the facilities were open.
