My earliest memories of watching sports start with Deion Sanders. I can still see the way he looked. The way he walked. The way his swag just came right through the TV screen. Everything about him was super cool to me. I was in awe of his ability, his style, his drive, all of it. And the way he approached the game on and off the field is something that sticks with me to this day.
Prime Time is the one who taught me: “Look good, feel good. Feel good, play good. Play good, they pay good.” I still lay my uniform out on the floor and take a look at it before I put it on. I got that from Deion. He always looked good on the field—and he didn’t just talk about it, he was about it. It was amazing to watch.
Fast-forward a few years and a few kids later for us both, and it’s still amazing for me to watch Prime do his thing as a father. As parents, we give undivided and unconditional love and support to our kids. At the same time, we hold them accountable. We want them to be as great as they can be. We want them to be unbelievable in the sport they’re playing or whatever it is they’re doing. But more importantly, we want them to be unbelievable young men and women. And that starts at home.
