Athletes: if you thank God daily for your journey, don’t minimize his blessings. Meaning, post those NAIA, D3 opportunities the same way you post the D1/Juco opportunities. The next level is the level after the current. God isn’t shallow, you shouldn’t be either!
Every day I get a chance to talk to the

football players, I realize how underestimated they are in so many areas. These are some impressive guys!
Understand this is not a shot or down of Cormani. Athletes your 5⭐️ get you in the door. Your ability to adjust, and present yourself as a valuable asset gets you on the field. Consistency keeps you there. He will be fine, remember y’all said he’s with the BEST!
Coach Prime on what Cormani has to do better: “Study and prepare. Be on time for meetings, show up to meetings. Understand the scheme. I check film time from each player so I can see who’s preparing, so if I don’t see that you would be a fool to put somebody out there who’s not
I played at a D3. I broke records! I was a NFL prospect! I considered overseas! Most importantly, I GRADUATED!! Oh and i played on tv in the Dallas market for their arena football team, STARTED every game and got paid!
I tell my athletes I love them..why? Because for some it’s the first time a MAN ever said it to them and meant it. I want nothing from them but I do want EVERYTHING for them !!
#BeTheChange
Why do all new age athletes make posts saying “respect my decision” ...there’s 1 million athletes every year. A school will not crumble without you..just do you a keep moving. The theatrics aren’t worth much once you enroll
Today was another opportunity to witness the humanistic transformation of athletes …the community and youth of Erie, Colorado enjoyed our boys !!! Be more . Do more !
When I was about 14-15 years old, a guy told me I would lead many. He said I’d be in front of many. In the church setting I thought he meant as a pastor!
God is funny like that !! Here we are 16 years later !
I promise, the way we are moving is for the betterment of the future! I’m so over the gimmicks and microwave mentality. Let’s start building sustainability and longevity!!

Go to a D3 because your skills didn’t catch D1 eye . Ball out against your level of talent. Decide to transfer up because you’re arrogant. Get to your “D1” ride the bench. Guess what .. you lost.
To my “small school” coaches. Don’t focus to much on who doesn’t want to take your offer seriously. The secret is, it’s not your school. It’s the athlete doesn’t believe in themselves enough just yet. Find the ones who believe in themselves and build that relationship.
Say what you want (D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO), but being Alumni status is a different kind of flex. Y’all missing out if you’re turning down opportunities because a level !
Are you ready to ride the bench in order to impress your friends ?? Forcing yourself into a program just to have a lit social media bio isn’t the goal.
The truth, the passion, the vision! You want the glitz and glam, go get it. You want the REAL, and want to truly build to create change, let’s do it. Together we can create the glitz and glam along the way.

@XFL2023
like it’s easy to make $60k a year. in pro sports is not the same as a traditional salary. Don’t get blinded by the NFL and miss out on an opportunity to provide for yourself.
Back when my beard didn’t connect, I ate pbj, drank muscle milk for meals, and didn’t envision anything outside of this game ! -

The life of a college athlete taught me so much about myself. Learning to live and survive independently, all while achieving things most only wish

@DbuElijah
...I’ve shared my dreams with him many times and he’s been nothing but supportive. Never laughed at me, gave me great feedback. For that, I love you dude real talk!
College coaches, if we focus on anything. Let’s focus heavy on teaching responsibility. Our athletes are in need of understanding responsibility, commitment and RESPECT!
Parents, once they leave the house. They are NOT your 10yr old sweet baby !
Blockchain, crypto and smart contracts….are and will continue to change the world.
We have some really powerful works about to drop for all to benefit!

My son finished the year with A honor roll. All A’s all year. There are standards in this house. We don’t just memorize to pass, we learn in order to implement!
Celebrate the kid going to community college, trade school, starting a business, going D3, going NAIA.
There’s to many adults focused on celebrating the popular instead of celebrating the whole.
Want to keep kids off the streets and productive? Help them feel appreciated!
AB been needed help man. His talent was used against him, as long as he was scoring touchdowns for crumbs it was all good. They only “care” for you when it benefits them. It’s bigger than this game!
College isn’t high school.
Make your plays count, don’t count your plays. Your people at home, don’t know the real daily story.

2021, the future is not only online education and freedom from the broken system but there’s future in crypto and branding. Athletes, pay attention to the flow of money. Everything is shifting towards less control and putting more control in y’all hands. Take advantage!

what does it mean? Congrats to those who were stressing and waiting. For those who were not on the fence, keep pushing your plan of execution. Don’t jump ship.

Still, if you set your heart on God and reach out to him, If you scrub your hands of sin and refuse to entertain evil in your home, You’ll be able to face the world unashamed and keep a firm grip on life, guiltless and fearless. Job 11:14
Been working on a strategic partnership to offer scholarship options for the non traditional route! Safe to say we have found the solution. This is a blessing !
Stop believing the only way to change your mom’s life is by going to the league!
It’s 2019 and there are more non athletic millionaires being created every day!
Also, followers on social media don’t equate to that bag! I know some with 100k “followers“ without a place to live
How many Arik Gilbert situations need to continue to happen before we realize codling them in high school is not worth it? He’s a man yea. Has to accept his mistakes. But every man in his life who chased his clout and went quiet now, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!
Sports and Life are all synonymous. Often times we commit to one facet of the situation and when that wears off (90 day high) it then becomes boring or not what we thought. -

I tell athletes all the time. You’re not just committing to the school, you’re committing to the city

When YOU’VE been squatting, cleaning, and training with your teammates all offseason, and the DB you line up against has been doing ladder work and collecting t-shirts with that “elite” 7 on 7 team:
This doesn’t get done enough. I’ve had many conversations like this one with players. Good stuff Coach. I know exactly what you mean about that sigh of relief in their voice and eyes!
Kid gets one offer and immediately everyone says “congrats, there’s MANY MORE TO COME” ...what happens when there isn’t more ? We have to stop setting up these emotional pitfalls. Let the kid enjoy that ONE. Since they can only choose ONE right ??

Athletes gotta give themselves time to develop. Y’all try to jump from middle school to varsity without training. Then from high school to starting first year college without preparing. The portal isn’t the magic pill ..your work ethic is!
Every year I see people tweet:
1. Small School Guy Drafted
2. If you can ball they’ll find you
Then right after the draft ends, those same people do nothing to advocate for good fit and sensible recruiting. The athletes didn’t wake up saying D1 or nothing. It’s the adults !
Athletes, the offers and scholarships are not personal. It’s Business! A school can “like you” and not GIVE you anything. You have to think about your market value. What do you bring to a program outside of being a “dawg” or a “hard worker”
