Many athletes go through their career not realizing their responsibilities to the community, the sport of football and to themselves.
Becoming a professional athlete means more than just knowing your craft, it means that you are now an icon who needs to be a professional on and off the field. You will now be responsible for all the young athletes coming up who watch you on T.V., see you play in person, who wear your jersey, advertising to the community on your behalf. Your responsibility is to your team, anytime you go beyond being professional your team has to pay the price. Your responsibility is also to yourself, being an athlete PERIOD means that you have to start eating right, get proper rest, NO SUBSTANCE ABUSE.
Be a professional inside and out. "Hurt Now or Hurt Later"
