Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.

The game of football is officially broken.
NIL, transfer portal, 6th year seniors, high school kids being offered money to play college ball or transferring 2-3 times between freshmen - senior year in high school, youth select travel teams, personal trainers making more money than Bill Gates from training 9 year olds how to run routes. We are just chasing after the wind. Good luck catching it.
Football was once built on the foundation of commitment, grit, finish what you start no matter the cost.
We should apologize now to future employers, wives, and children for the young men that are learning to quit or leave when things are difficult or times get tough.
