Coach Prime is a man of many words and will use his life stories to show that anyone can overcome challenges no matter how hard the setback may be. He is open-minded and will share the truth — that's the best part. It's an important part of football regardless of the situation at hand but it's also crucial for life in general.
Sanders says that you don't have to lose to have a lesson as wins can provide a takeaway of its own.
“Lessons come from life," Sanders said (h/t Athlon Sports). "You don’t have to lose to get a lesson. You can win and get a lesson, too.”
He speaks life into his messages and it will spread just well throughout the locker room of Colorado. All for what's anticipated to be a bounce-back season for them after a rough ending to the 2023-24 campaign.
There's a lot to like about Sanders, not because of his football knowledge or his athletic career but the value he holds beyond those areas — there's a great level of substance that does not go unnoticed.
What kind of lessons has Deion Sanders learned?
Sanders learned patience, which has ultimately led to where he is today.
“I’ve learned patience. I’ve learned to believe the things I see, believe things I know, and go with my instinct because it’s gotten me to where I am sitting here with you right now.”
Patience is necessary to accomplish the goals they have in mind — even if they were to lose the first few games of the season, there's value in waiting for the moment to shine.
This team is bonded by swagger, resilience and determination because of Sanders' knack for always taking away good or bad lessons.
It's hard to argue that he is not someone of character, he has been through so much and still spreads joy in his way.
What's there not to like about Coach Prime? There are a lot of reasons why many do.
