They been knew this.....Matta came with Coach Prime from JSU...

[@AltaMay11]

Mata has been one of my favorite since JSU, I was so very happy when Coach Prime took him to CU because he’s Auto Mata don’t miss ❤❤❤

[@D1vaDvyn]

It's a beautiful sight to see, when your parents can "fan out" over their own child😊 I can't get enough of this interview❤❤❤❤

[@XtremeSportX247]

Chico... Mannnnn!!!!!! l know you got Coach Prime's attention with this format. I applaud you for taking the time and being patient with each family. You are a great interviewer who allows them to tell their story. You deserve Prime's Press Access for this. Good Job my bro!!

[@rwill60029]

I'ts amazing how a number of these vloggers are so talented interviewing, when it's not something they've done as a career! I'm enjoying BDC interviews immensely. There are a few of these brothers who have EARNED access passes.

Bru, you are grabbing the Parents of the players and It's good to meet the base of the young guys. Keep em coming!

[@fidelnenas8390]

Mrs Mata’s point about Alejandro’s ability to adapt being advantageous is spot on. It also helps a child to mature quickly. As, a person born in the United States but being raised in the Caribbean during my primary years it helped me adapt to many different environments during my military career from living in tents in the desert with total strangers to working in different countries enjoying different cultures. I love watching Alejandro. My favorite clip is when Coach Prime introduced him to Michael Irvin and Alejandro confidently told him “I don’t miss”. Micheal smiled and repeated “you don’t miss, huh”. Alejandro said No! I love it. Oh tell Mr & Mrs Mata your children never forget their first language especially if they started school in that language. Bendiciones para Alejandro y su familia.

[@brigittemaxey4197]

I hope recruiters watch this series. Parents are good indicators of the full package.

[@derrickj127]

Bigg Dogg Chico you knocked it out the park with this interview bro. You spread the cement of brotherly love to all cultures. Diversity is imperative to success. Mata is humble and exemplifies the true essence of good family upbringing. I too hail from Georgia grew up in Harris County and moved to Jonesboro. I salute the parents for supporting Alejandro in all his endeavors and also mentioning the daughters as well. Academics are a priority in this family. I say to Alejandro continue to love soccer also. You are the example for your sisters to emulate. Ermano you are also a role model to the Latino culture and Spanish speaking diaspora. Mi casa su casa. Continue to represent- "Don't miss"

[@nubianq333]

Your interviews with these parents are purely magical genius. The technique of always making them feel comfortable, un rushed and therefore fully engaged works for both parents and listeners. Congratulations..As with most new endeavors there’s always room to tighten up the process; but since you appear to do an excellent job of researching your subjects, there is no concern there. Continued success…

[@darlenehyman1293]

Mats is a great addition to this football team. Great interview, loved hearing about their background.

[@lindawhite9655]

Great learning about the players families! And presenting a different point of view...Coach Prime is providing those players such amazing opportunities! Living and working in different places...and getting to play with/work with/learn from teammates from all kinds of backgrounds. Some folks wonder why Deion mentioned how one of his players Dad was in prison. The reason is so other young men whose parent(s) might be in prison will know that's not the end of their life. Deion is doing so many things...notably helping these kids achieve and learn about the world in the process. This particular video teaches all of us so much about "Spanish" people... Mr. Mata, himself, is obviously so talented! Hope the other kids learn how important it is to know different languages.
