Last week there was a video going viral w/ @DeionSanders talking to his team about being lazy w/ academics. Last week I was informed that a former teammate of mine, who was apparently homeless, died from liver failure. For ANY YOUNG ATHLETES watching this video - I cannot stress ENOUGH how important it is to take advantage of the resources & support around you while you have it. This game fucking ends for all of us. I hope you all play your game for a long time but you are absolutely hurting yourself if you don’t take advantage of the position you’re currently in to grow yourself for a life after your days are done. Life will humble you. And it will be the fundamental skills & education you equip yourself w/ that will carry you forward. Legit can’t preach this message enough.
@_willcompton @DeionSanders It is all fun and games with this Rapist.
@_willcompton @DeionSanders Congratulations or I’m sorry that happened to you. Not reading all that
@_willcompton @DeionSanders Hope you’re doing well Will!
@_willcompton @DeionSanders Excellent post—mean that. We’re losing warriors who could have helped create a better future for our states and country. But far too often they live in the moment without thought of tomorrow—financially, physically, etc. Then procrastination becomes fear, loathing, hopelessness.
@_willcompton @DeionSanders Superb advice, Will! Keep up the great work!
@_willcompton @DeionSanders From one Husker to another, these are important words.
