Talk talk talk, you need to raise these kids right from day 1. Telling a group full of athletes that they are Jackson states best? At what? A game that will likely see most of these kids not go on to play professionally and then they’ll be the best at what? The kid that studied and worked hard and didn’t have that natural born ability will be most of their bosses. Focusing on athletics at universities is a downfall in the American education systen

[@Joshua-sw1dq]

​@@SB-hz2tt its only a downfall if you let it be all that you focus on. See growing up in athletics can teach you a lot about life but from an outside perspective all you see is a sport being played and kids and youn men giving their time to something you think will inevitably be their down fall. Let's look at it from a different angle though. Sports will teach young men and women about discipline, and give them structure where some may be lacking in those areas. Those 2 examples alone play an enormous roll in raising the youth. A proper program with adequate coaches/ mentors will teach kids how to work as a team and not see yourself as an individual when its obvious you can't do it alone, a good coach will teach you that no matter how skilled you are, its hard work that is going to take you to higher places and that nobody is bigger than the cause, whatever that cause may be. Playing sports can lead to life long friendships, surrounded by people that have similar goals in life and the desire to be better will only result in a more successful future. These friends and teammates should and will hold you accountable for what you say and do, and accountability is just as important as discipline and structure. You are taught to be punctual and prepared everyday. At the end of the day, the most important in my opinion, is the work ethic that is engrained into you. You have to have a work ethic to get by in this world and nothing teaches you that more than training with your team to achieve a goal. Athletics shouldn't be viewed as a one sided, get rich or bust investment. A lot of life lessons are earned through these kids dedication. Even if most kids don't go on to play sports at a college or professional level, the lessons that are learned are beneficial to many.

Protect this Man at all cost 💯💯

[@aarondean7869]

This man is teaching more than Football...Life lessons here!

[@unregisturd]

This man's legend is global. Fond memories watching him, Irvin, Aikman and Smith tearing up the NFL in the 90s, from Australia!

[@VellaEwing917]

He’s a God sent the fact that he took the time to let his players know he cares about them and there safety Much respect for him ❤

[@rzsanati]

[@anor94]

AMEN. Praying for coverage over all the JSU Team, Coaches, Band, Cheerleaders, Staffers, Bus Drivers, Pilots. Everyone involved with taking care of these young people. I also pray for our Fans, Faculty and Staff of JSU.....

[@snobbypolitics7792]

Amen.

[@ahines2474]

Every time I think I can't respect and admire this man any more than I already do, he proves me wrong. He really loves those young men and I pray they appreciate it because you can't teach what he gives them....as young men, not athletes.

[@lockerpartner123]

Those players are thugs off the field

[@TheForbiddenOne55]

Prime is a straight up OG. It's such a real ass message that we ALL can pull from.

[@ddwilkins]

Man, as a former football player, I would love to be up under his leadership. Prime cares deeply for these young men.

[@jrcash625]

A much needed word. “Y’all are valuable”

[@Mumfred123]

More black men need to hear that they are valuable and that a sad part of growth and maturity is having to separate from people and things that stunt your growth. It was a tough lesson that I had to learn, but I'm better for it.

[@mwalimubusara1395]

Class act! What a blessing Coach Sanders is to those young men. Coach, father figure, mentor.

[@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent]

This 🤘🏾🤘🏾 brother continues to hold it down. His reputation off the field can be greater than his time on the field.

[@JayMillz517]

Brother Deion is a blessing to anyone that listens with an open-mind.

[@kipsangy2885]

Deion is different level!! Growing up watching him play and now this!! Mad respect!!

[@jules6623]

Such a class act.. he's so relatable for these young men.. he's a blessing!

[@snowpoodie2870]

[@antoniomcneil5978]

God bless Coach Deion for actually loving and caring about his young players and his community. He is a blessing we truly need ✨

[@quentin971]

It's so great to see that these young men have Coach Prime and his staff looking out for them to make sure they excel as human beings and not just on the football field. I think this was the perfect way to address this tragic issue

[@user-yc9wh6qz5g]

We are witnesses a phenomenal life experience that we have never seen. Coach Prime can reach into the hearts and souls of America and we listen he has changed College Football in a way that is remarkable mind blowing.

[@radtalon6079]

Deion has always had my respect and this is a true character of him. He wants to only help these young kids be the best they could be.

[@calvinr.johnsonjr.9076]

This man makes me amped and I am too old to lace up. Man didn't expect Deon to be such a great coach/mentor. But should have known. But when he was at Florida State I didn't see this man today. Love it. Good for him and grateful he is in these young men's life. Salute Coach Prime

[@scottmeredith8409]

Wow, that's real...you can only hope that each of these young men know how lucky they are that " Prime" is their coach. The lessons are Real! I think as parents regardless of our "color" or "background" try to impart his wisdom on our children but I can see and feel his need to be more impactful for these young men in the moment. God bless you Prime today and moving forward as a man of change for these young men.
