He said, honestly, the greatest thing you taught me was to not be afraid of anything. Like ever. And I wanted people to be mad at me. The adversity strikes me, that means it ain't striking y'all. I'd rather have it be me. So if I walk in the gym and I talk shit to everybody, they're mad at me, not my players.
And then if something happens to my players and I make more of a scene myself, they're mad at me and I want them to be mad at me.

It used to really bother me. I used to take it personally. I used to get hurt for them. I'd get angry if I poured into them. And I never believed no good deed goes unpunished, but that's probably one of the truest statements I've ever heard in my entire life. I've done a lot of really good things for people I didn't have to do and they still let me down and went out of their way to let me down.

And I realized that everybody, hey, I learned grace. Everybody goes through shit. They didn't want to let me down. I hedged my bets more. I'm really cautious, meaning like I'm not that far out anyway. You let me down. It really didn't hurt me. It takes me a long time to trust. Yeah. Long time to trust.

I think a lot of it's gut. I mean, my experience, just because I had the experience, you're a different human being, your circumstances are different. I look at people's surroundings, like who they're with, um, relationship wise, who they spend time with. I try to gauge some of that before I get to too far in, but also that crisis of character may be situational.

I have some really good people that did some really stupid shit and really bad situations. I have guys that did some really stupid shit, let people down because they were drinking too much. They're in a bad relationship. They were depressed. It doesn't mean that it's an excuse, but it was a situational character issue. And it doesn't mean that's who they are forever.

And also, it's not my job to judge. Two of the greatest things I got, and I got a lot, is that I don't drink. So I'm sober. So everything, everything. And I, I did have a really healthy fear of the Lord. And dude, that book tells me that I can't judge nobody. Yeah. So the minute I start finding myself doing, I'm like, dude, they're a human being like you, bro. Like relax. Like, who are you?

Like you got to make decisions, stand up for your family, protect people. I get all that. But also at the end of the day, I've had some people that nobody's believed in them. And I think we have a lot of, you know, people that work with us that people have given up on.
