Perseverance - Continuing to work hard and persist toward the goal even when obstacles and difficulties arise.

Tiki Barber’s and Rondé Barber’s birthday is on April 7th.

Atiim Kiambu Hakeem-Ah “Tiki” Barber grew up in Roanoke, Virginia along with his identical twin brother, Rondé Barber and older brother Tarik.

Tiki is a record-holding retired running back for the New York Giants. “I used to think my career was defined by not winning a Super Bowl. But I think looking back on my career, they’ll see someone who was a competitor, someone who always played hard and never gave up.” He began a second career as a television broadcaster with NBC, contributing to the Today program, covering sports for NBC Sports, and hosting entertainment events for NBC Universal.

He is married, the father of four children, and is a morning host on a CBS Sports Radio show.

Jamael Orondé “Rondé” Barber is a record-holding cornerback who retired after fifteen seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. “If you play with a passion, you can do anything you want.” He is one of only two cornerbacks selected to the Pro Bowl five times. After his retirement, Rondé joined Fox Sports as a color analyst. He currently broadcasts NFL games and contributes to studio programming on Fox Sports 1.

Rondé lives in Keystone, Florida, with his wife, Claudia, and two daughters. He is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
