Imagine this: A high school teacher in Union City, N.J., receives a call. He’s asked to lead a chapel service for the New York Giants the night before their 2011 Christmas Eve game against the New York Jets.
On Dec. 23, Gian Paul Gonzalez stands before the team, who face tough odds of making the playoffs, and hands each player a poker chip. He asks them to write their initials on one side and their number or a top commitment on the other side.
“Sometimes we’ve got to step up and be all in,” Gonzalez tells the group. “You have to be willing to say, ‘I’m going to be all in and risk everything and bet everything.’”
