Well done, insightful!

Fantastic video! Yes, you knew that you were still yourself and that football wasn't your story

I get what this guy is saying. But while I agree football players should be allowed to have other opportunities. Nothing should be mandatory. 99% of people don’t start businesses. That’s not how it works. You have to want and have a drive to do it. Another thing is ,because a lot of football players come from the hood, they don’t care about anything but making the pros. This man is different, but I dated college and pro players in my hey day and at 21 you’re just not thinking about long term even when people warn you.
