Von Miller reveals after Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman suspended him, he packed everything he owned into his truck and started driving to Florida to transfer, when he called his he dad told him not to quit, so he turned around and led the nation with 17.5 sacks the next season
“I had everything I owned in this blanket, and I went to my car. I threw it in the back and I’m driving home. I called my daddy. I’m like, ‘Daddy, man, I’m leaving. Coach Sherman kicked me off the team. I ain’t coming back until I do this and that.’”
“I’m thinking my dad is going, ‘All right, we’re going to find something else.’ He said, ‘Pull that truck over, turn around, and go back to school. You’re not quitting.’”
“I was like, ‘That was not the answer I was looking for.’ He was like, ‘You’re not just about to quit when it gets hard. You’re going to turn that truck back around. You’re going to go back to school and you’re going to fix it.’”
“I had tears going down my face. I was like, ‘Man, this is going to be so hard to fix all of this.’ I turned around. We had a meeting. Coach Sherman told my dad the exact same thing that he told me, and my dad agreed with Coach Sherman.”
“There was nowhere I could go. I just had to face the music. I had to face the truth. That spring was a hard one, but I got my grades up. I made it to all my classes. I went through the checklist of everything Coach Sherman wanted me to do.”
“That following year, my junior year, was the best year that I had up until that day. I led the nation in sacks. I had 17 and a half sacks. My life had totally changed. That was all a testament to running straight through the storm. The shortest way through the storm is straight. I put my head down and I worked, and my life totally changed that offseason.”
Just because you have a negative thought doesn't mean you have to believe it. Negative thoughts are lies. Don't believe the lies. Armour yourself with the truth. Speak truth to the lies and move forward with power.
@jakehayden30 you are a winner and an absolute stud as a Man. I can’t thank you enough for how much you care, are willing to help anybody and your daily commitment to helping @UMassMBB be great. You have a brother for life in me. ❤️🚩🏀
Being able to impact a basketball program I grew up rooting for is an experience I am incredibly grateful for and one I will never forget.
I appreciate everyone involved with UMass Basketball. I am especially grateful for @coachFMartin and @CoachMattMcCall for their belief in me.
Thank you to everyone who helped build The Massachusetts Collective and invested in our student-athletes.
