Brett Favre had always liked to play football since his dad, Irvin Favre, was a football coach for high school. Growing up Irvin taught Brett to always aim your dreams high and go for them no matter the height. But in Favre's Senior year of college, he got into a near fatal car accident and the first thing he asked the doctors was "Will I be able to play football still?" His inspiration is that he did what his dad said and aimed high and follow through and that made him the player he is today.
