I
think
we
sometimes
forget
about
the
centrifugal
force
that
Sports
has
with
young
people,
teaches
them
about
team's.
It
teaches
them
about
somebody
else
depending
on
you.
It
teaches
them
about.
When
you
get
knocked
down,
you
got
to
get
back
up,
but
the
other
thing
it
does
for
a
lot
of
kids
is:
it
creates
a
stickiness
for
them
when
it
comes
to
the
academic
part
of
their
life.
What.
C
I'd
ask
you
to
do
is
think
back
to
when
you
were
kids
think
about
how
hard
it
was
to
know
what
to
do
who
to
go
to
what
to
say
how
to
ask
for
help.
It
was
really
really
hard
and
really
really
overwhelming
I'm,
proud
to
say
that
scholar-athletes
clears
that
pathway
for
young
people
to
directly
connect
the
individualized
resources.
They
need
to
be
successful.
