The head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes,Deion Sanders, is not just a man who talks about games but leaves the personal lessons aside, he is actually the opposite. His real life lectures come from unexpected places and moments, like a homeless encampment beneath a Los Angeles bridge.
In a chat woth media outlet USA Today, Sanders shared a strong scene: people living on nothing more than a single bag that carries all their belongings, but still living with dignity and resilience.
Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders breaks Shedeur Sanders heart by revealing who is his favorite son
They had one bag – everything they owned was in that bag – but their spirit was not in that bag. You’re not your stuff
An important lesson on materialism
For Sanders, that little visit he paid, was a strong reminder of what is inside us can beat and be used as support during any bad times. Now, he is sharing this lesson in Boulder, gearing up for the new college football year his Buffaloes soldiers are waiting for.
As a Pro Football Hall of Famer and two-sport legend, ‘Coach Prime‘ does way more than playbooks and drills. He uses football as a platform to teach useful life skills, and like this example of the homelesses, he loves showing that mental strength is more important in daily life than owning things.
A true message beyond football
While Sanders told this to his team, the social weight it carried spreaded notably. Many American citizens in Los Angeles and other metropolitan places nationwide are not able to afford housing. Sanders‘ story helps us see that all the data collected represents people, not just numbers.
This is not new for him. “Coach Prime” often takes his team out to learn big real-life lessons, be it helping the community or sharing tough truths in the locker room. He wants his players to be ready for life after the game just in case.
New promising season ahead
Colorado is getting into its second year with Sanders. They hope to do better than last year, which was not bad, but it could be improved. As they start training, his story from Los Angeles can help them to stay strong inside their minds.
If his players listen well, Sanders thinks they will handle any test from the game or life.
The story he shared was not only an emotional statement, as it was meant to teach something to the young players. As a coach who inspires his men, this move and story could be one of his most powerful ones.
