Motivation Quote by Tim Tebow

"It was huge to read the Proverbs of the day every morning, it was huge to read the Psalm of the day every morning, and to get that in us, and get us going before the day even started"

About this Quote

There is something almost aggressively practical in Tebow's repetition of "huge": faith here isn't posed as mystery or aesthetics, but as training. The line lands like a locker-room routine, because that's the cultural world it comes from. "Proverbs of the day" and "Psalm of the day" are framed the way an athlete might talk about film study or stretching: small, daily reps that build an internal reflex. He isn't selling a dramatic conversion; he's selling a pregame ritual.

The subtext is about control. Mornings are where you can still believe the day is coachable, and Tebow casts scripture as the first input that sets the mental thermostat before the noise of competition, media, and expectation arrives. "Get that in us" is bodily language, almost nutritional, suggesting the text is meant to be metabolized, not merely admired. It's also communal: "us" signals team, family, accountability partner. This is less solitary spirituality than culture-building.

Context matters because Tebow has long been a symbol in America's recurring argument about public faith: to some, inspirational; to others, performative. This quote sidesteps the spectacle and emphasizes process. It's not about broadcasting belief but front-loading identity, a way to walk into pressure already anchored. In a sports environment where confidence can look like bravado, he offers a different source code for certainty: discipline disguised as devotion, devotion sharpened into discipline.
