Dangling in front of young gifted athletes are promises uttered by promoters who only see profit, and ratings, and fans who feign admiration for them, and cast them aside at the slighest provocation sometimes, or other times when the feeling passes on to the next batch. Players are commodities. How they are in their lives matters only to those who love them. If we love our children as much as we claim it behooves us to learn how to guide their spirits until they are able to walk the path they agreed to walk before they were born. But how is that possible if we are not on the path we are supposed to be upon? -Gregory E. Woods
