1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: From Jackson State to Colorado. We all know that college

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: football star Travis Hunter and coach Dion Sanders have a

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: special relationship. Recently, Hunter did an interview and talked about

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: coach Prime being more than just a coach. He said, quote,

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: we have a great bond. It's like a father and

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: son bond. And I know whenever I needed something, I

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: could go and ask him, and I'm pretty sure I

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: can get it one hundred percent of the time. He's

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: like a father figure to me and I love him

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: so much en quote. Coach Prime also had great things

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: to say about Travis Hunter as well. He don't drink,

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: he don't smoke, He goes home after practice and study film,

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: and is one of the best human beings I know.

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: End quote. So here's a question, guys. You know we

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: have a lot of parents, you know, of student athletes

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: out there listening. How important is a positive, strong coach

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: and athlete relationship. Because I love what Travis said about

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: Coach Prime. Well, you say, Steed and you do mentoring

19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: and all that, Steve, So what do you.

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: Think I mean?

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: Tommy said, it's very important. You know, I didn't hear

22
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 3: you this man. So many coaches are more than coaches.

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: It ain't just prime it's high school coaches, junior high coaches,

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 3: college coaches, everywhere. Man and an athlete don't have to

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: be a star to benefit from a great coach. Sometimes

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: not in all cases, but sometimes this coach is the

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 3: first father figure.

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: These cats see.

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 3: On a continuous basis and have to take instruction for them.

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: But what makes a coach great is when you know

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: that you are coaching a young man for more than

32
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: the sport.

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: Exactly that.

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: The most important thing is a coaching for life, because

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: when sports is over, you got to you got to

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: be something and and and I think that a lot

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: of these coaches out here, and some great coaches man

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: that are liked, become father figures to these cats, give

39
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 3: them real solid advice about girls, dating, protecting women, how

40
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: to treat women, how to treat your mom, how to

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 3: be respectful, how to obey the law.

42
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: It's a lot of that.

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 4: So it's critical.

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: Mine mine not only was an incredible coach, but was

45
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: tutoring me in math. He was a he was a

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: math genius. He was tutor me in math all the

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: way through school. Just that good of a guy. But

48
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: just crack that whip when you did something bad, give

49
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: you know your love when you did something he was

50
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: just gave me a father. That school, he was that guy.

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: He wanted you to succeed academically and athletically, even if

52
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: you didn't do athletics.

53
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: After that, he didn't try.

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, nobody could tutor.

55
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: Me in math, coach nobody.

56
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: Right after arithmetic, I saw no purpose. Once I learned audition, subtraction, multiplication.

57
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 3: You know you don't addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Once

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 3: I knew that, I knew right then I had everything

59
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 3: I needed to know because I can handle money then

60
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: and percentages.

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: I know percentages. Okay, you're good with that.

62
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 4: Now what about you, junior?

63
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: You were a student athlete just like Tom Oh.

64
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, Coach Gun, I'm telling you Coach Gun because

65
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 5: first of all, we had a white high school and

66
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 5: he black coach. And he said, hey, hey, he always

67
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 5: say hey, you ain't white. Quit try and do that.

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 5: You can't do that. See that's what you know. You

69
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 5: got a coach. He does not allow me to do

70
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 5: certain things that white athletes do. Hey, your ass is black,

71
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: don't do that. That's what you want to go to

72
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 5: Buck that was good, Junior.

73
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,920

00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: drove you to the hospital that too.

75
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,680
