Oh Warriors Where Art Thou?

There’s a huge shortage of “warriors” in this modern era. Athletes are bred to believe they’re entitled to starting positions, college scholarships and huge pro contracts just because they walk here on this earth. What happened to the blue-collared, hard nosed, “run-through-a-brick-wall” warrior-athlete?

The lack of discipline and intense training has “softened” today’s athletes. Awards and trophies are handed out to every member of the team just for wearing jerseys. Long hours of video game play have replaced long hours of street ball and manhunt. The next generation of athletes, teachers, coaches and community leaders are in big trouble unless we [as coaches] help guide them in the “right direction.”

Tom Brady is a modern era warrior-athlete. His work ethic, determination and courage have elevated him to the top of the sports world. Brady paved his own way by believing in himself and making the most of every opportunity.
