The Texas Catholic: Pre-game talks inspire LSU kicker "I don’t consider myself a leader by any stretch of the imagination. I just try to do the right thing." He said that he always keeps in mind the Jesuit goal of being a “Man for Others.” "You have to come in every day...and have a positive mindset,” said Hairston. "There will be some lows, and it’s important to be the person who sticks to his faith." "Each person faces opportunities when you feel the time is right. You take the opportunity and you trust the Lord." "Father Nelson says that it’s about taking the high road," said Hairston. "You choose it—Christ doesn’t make you take the high road." "Father Tony has really brought me closer to Christ,” said Hairston. “He is working miracles. My favorite quote from Father Tony is, ‘Who you are today is God’s gift to you, and who you become is your gift to God.’ " Father Tony on James: "He’s a great young man" (James is the name of two of the 12 apostles)
