He claims that athletes must prioritize their academic grades as much as their athletic training to ensure long-term career success.

“I'm like I'm going to be so good in basketball it's not going to matter and as fate would have it I made varsity as a freshman in high school and then I realized you needed grades and I realized you couldn't just turn on your senior year like these grades follow you your transcripts follow you”

The primary goal of his coaching career is to help families and prepare young people for success rather than focusing solely on wins and championships.

“what I don't want on my Tombstone is wins and championships and that just that he helped a lot of families and so I would tell you I want to help like 30 more families and then I'll be done”

He argues that college players should be taught how to manage their money to avoid financial issues once they reach the professional level.

“I mean I feel like in college they should teach them how to manage their money you know I mean that's important right now cuz when you if you can't handle $10,000 $100,000 you come to the NFL you go first round you get millions of dollars you going to run through that”

Education and the ability to apply tools beyond just having money are essential for players to build a successful life.

“no matter how much money we have in the now it it's it's not what you have it's what you do with it right and if we're not equipped with the tools to do something with it we'll just continue to lose it”

He claims that players should focus their off-season training exclusively on the specific tasks they will be assigned to perform during games.

“I only work on things in the off season that I'm going to be doing in the game. Yeah. Why am I going to work on something they ain't going to have me doing in the game?”

He attributes his professional growth in his second season to a better command of the team's playbook and an improved ability to read opposing defenses.

“Year two going in there I got the Playbook down I ain't got to worry about this play you call a play I know what it is they play a certain coverage I know where the ball supposed to go and everything I'm good now I'm just going out there playing I'm just picking a DB apart”

A player must move past the negative thoughts associated with position changes by focusing on consistent effort and technical preparation.

“I met with our our sports psychologist Joe Carella. He helped me a lot just kind of get the just replace the negative thoughts with positive thoughts. Like this is how instead of like, "Oh, I'm going to suck." like this is what I'm going to do to be better.”
