Coach Prime needs to package that speech, present it across the Nation. I couldn't stated it better myself! That one went "Bone Deep! All kids need to hear that one!

[@bcarmi4384]

I was thinking the same thing. It's a message for the nation!

[@davebrewer120]

Young men in America (and the West in general, really) are dying for this message. Look how powerful Jordan Peterson and Kevin Samuels (RIP) have been for young men. They eat it up, because they don't have the positive male role models that we had in earlier generations. They are lost in a world where every action they take is called toxic, and aggressively masculine. Young black boys have it the hardest in this respect in North America--clearly for many reasons. If only Deion were to take his message and centralize it for those in need, and take it to the masses.

[@jeremiahcarter5366]

Yes this is the type of coaching that I grew up with as a young athlete in the late 60s 70s and 80s. They told it to you straight. Today these kids feel entitled and you can’t say anything to them because you hurt their feelings. And we have the parents of many of these kids that will not allow you to talk straight to them because now they trying to figure out a way to get you fired. He’s teaching life that sports.

I like that he is instilling qualities (or reminding some about key things) that will carry these young men far in LIFE. They have a chance to build successful careers. He is in the best position to see who is falling behind in class or who is slipping with the required credits to graduate...or who is not doing what they are supposed to do. Coaches get those phone calls about their players when they do wrong and coaches are constantly informed about all types of player issues. So he is giving it to them straight. Isn't that how life is going to give it to them in 2-4 years? No chaser.

[@goldbrick2563]

I earned a degree and it didnt help me to accomplish much. Degrees are not worth very much depending on the subject and elite level of the school. If you can go to an academically elite school, do it and choose career major. But alot of these schools arent worth the debt if youre not being trained to be engineer, lawyer, doctor, psychologist. If you are scholarship athlete, education is always worth it no matter what school it is (because its free)

I competed with both on the field daily and held my own. Coach Harry put his all into us and I took it for granted I stopped playing in 10th grade after playing for him since I was 12. I saw with my own eyes he get both of his sons in the pros. The discipline that it took is exactly what coach prime is speaking of, those brothers had it and they proved it.

My grandson is JSU receiver Dallas Daniels #4 who is one of the players that Coach Prime praises because of his passion, hard word and discipline. I remind Dallas to stay that way and remain humble.
