Millions of viewers tuned in Sunday night to watch the Seattle Seahawks triumph over the New England Patriots in a 29–13 Super Bowl victory. The team’s quarterback, Sam Darnold, was hailed a champion after years of career turbulence in the NFL—but last night’s game proved that consistency is key. And it’s a lesson he said he picked up from his parents, who taught him to persevere daily, even in difficult times.
“My dad worked as a plumber, and my mom is a PE teacher, and it never mattered what kind of day they had. They were always consistent for me and my sister,” Darnold recently told The Athletic. “[It] didn’t matter what had happened at work; my dad was always out there playing catch with me afterwards.”
