So often we focus on what we don't have and we let that paralyze us.

Sometimes you have to lose what you want to do to walk into what's really meant for you. You know, I was three years into the NFL and they bring me as, hey, you know, we got to bring this guy in. We love you, but we can't keep you. And now, like, what do I do with my life? Most people say, how do I stay consistent? I'm not consistent. You are consistent.

You're consistent at doing the wrong thing or the right thing. You're a consistent human being. But you'll stay more consistent when you understand how much it's costing you not to be consistent. You never will fix what you're not willing to face. Losing one of my best friends in my life, the suicide was the reason that I started Rehab Time.

Thanks for having me on the podcast. I really appreciate you. But jogging my memory back, ever since I was a young boy, I wanted to be an athlete, whether it be football, basketball, baseball. I have two older brothers, and so they're four and six years older than me. So it's kind of like no choice. As a kid, I wanted to follow in their footsteps, and they were sports addicts.

And my whole childhood, I grew up in New Orleans, and it was great. Both of my parents were supportive, still are. My mom has passed, but my dad is still supportive to this day. I had good role models in my life, and Sports was my everything. So at a young age, I had that dream. Like I had a vision, I had an intention, and I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

We ended up moving to Texas when I was in seventh grade. And if you know anything about Texas, like sports is religion out here. So being out in Texas, it really helped me elevate my chances of being a professional athlete. My childhood was basically that, you know, it was a great childhood, but wrapped around sports.

I think the support of my parents, like knowing that I was loved regardless, of course they were going to push me to be the best, but they didn't love me just because I scored a touchdown. I had a good or bad game. Their love didn't change.

And so once I knew that I didn't have to win them over by stats or by having a good game and just me being myself was enough, it made me want to repay my parents back because my parents, they were the type of parents, even to this day, my dad, like when my kids, like he travels and he supports and, um,

They were the type of parents that when I looked in the stands, I saw my mom and dad, no matter where the game was. And so my whole motivation, to be honest with you, was to be able to give them a gift. I'm not paying for my college to say, hey, I got a full athletic scholarship or even academic. You know, I took care of my grades. I was a straight A student.
