I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony.
But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing.
Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. Itโs not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasonsโฆ donโt quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it.
Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me.
Take your grades serious.โจChoose who you hang around wisely.โจProtect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.โจRespect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.โจWork hard when nobody clapping.
Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie.
Iโm still figuring it out myself. Iโm struggling but I know God got me.
Be intentional.โจLock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work.
Iโm learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today.
Start now.
DITTO!!.... Say it louder for the ones in the back of the room on their phones!!! This needs get into the feeds of every college football player at every level....STAT!!!
We are going to see soon that 1000s of players made mistakes. Coach nails it. Stop worrying about a check. Start enjoying life. Most of those in the portal just made their college experience more expensive and many just ended theirs.
Physiological Truths About Men Who Treat Their Birthdays Like a Normal Day
1. Theyโre used to doing life alone.
From childhood, nobody really made a big deal out of their special moments โ so they learned not to expect anything.
2. Theyโre naturally low-maintenance.
Gifts, parties, noise โ itโs never been their thing. Peace is their real celebration.
3. They pour into others more than they receive.
Theyโre the โstrong one,โ the one everyone callsโฆ but when itโs their turn, they donโt want to feel like a burden.
4. Theyโve learned to make themselves happy.
A quiet meal, a prayer, a moment alone โ itโs enough. Theyโre used to creating their own joy.
5. They measure life in progress, not dates. To them, a new year is not about cake ๐ itโs about whether theyโve grown, improved, or achieved.
