Tim Tebow news: Tebow talks about his goals as a leader and role model

Tim Tebow may be a world-renowned athlete who has influenced thousands of people, but the former Heisman Trophy winner has helped even more people with his Tim Tebow Foundation. With all the good he has done over the years, Tebow is the perfect partner for the Allstate American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good Works Team.

In an interview with Alligator Army, Tebow talked about his goals as a role model and a leader.

"My goal is to affect their lives in a way that they'll be better off in the long run or they'll have a smile on their face or they'll have a brighter day or they'll be able to encourage someone else. My biggest goal to whoever I get the opportunity to lead, or have an influence on, is that their life will be different and better, and from that, they would hopefully try and help someone else," he stated.

Tebow has certainly given a lot back to the community, and he has affected a lot of lives by raising millions of dollars for charity. He has partnered with CURE International to open the Tebow CURE Hospital in the Philippines, and the hospital has been providing orthopedic surgery care since 2014.

Meanwhile, in an interview with ThePostGame.com, Tebow confirmed that he would be playing baseball in 2017, not football. Sorry, football fans. The publication also asked him what he would say to people who think that his move to baseball was all a stunt, and he replied that he doesn't have to say anything because he's just pursuing what he loves. His passion for the game would speak for itself.

Tebow may be playing baseball now, but he still has a lot of things to say when it comes to football. In an interview with Sporting News, he pointed out that Alabama's Jalen Hurts would have to do more in their game against Clemson if they want to win the College Football Playoff National Championship for the second year in a row. Now, that's going to be an interesting grudge match.
