I always thought about that if that happened too, but it didn't happen, thank God. But I always thought about then how I would react to that. But going back to that, I think I heard this from Michael Jordan one time and he was like, you know the old saying, there's no I in team? I think Michael Jordan said something like, there's no I in team, but there's an I in win.
And there's a me. Yeah. So if he works harder, they're going to win. I just, I just think kids in today and not to stereotype all kids or whatever, but I think kids today are just a little bit softer when it comes to sports.
Why are you door dashing? It's crazy. My boys too. They won't make food for themselves. It's just insanity. You know what I mean? They want it made for them. And I'm like, you guys are so spoiled. But again, that was partly my fault too. Yeah. Forgive them. That was another thing to go back. Like I had nothing growing up. So like once I had kids, like I wanted them to get everything I didn't have.
Yeah. You know, and sometimes I can bite you in the butt.
Yeah.
I had a lot of input with it. I think the biggest mistake some parents and some kids make picking a college is sometimes they just want to pick that big name. Oh, I'm going to USC. Oh, I'm going to UC, whatever, whatever big college. And sometimes that can bite you in the butt because sometimes there's all, they're getting the best of the best at these big colleges.
Um, and then you, you hear about the kid going through three or four years of college and never really played.
Um, and they can be released in college now, you know what I mean? And they could be, you're not going to play. So might as well transfer out. And that's why the portal where the portal comes in. But yeah, I would say pick a place where you have the best chance to play. And obviously it's all about results and how you develop and what you do once you get there. Yeah.
I mean, not saying you can't play at these big colleges.
I even told my boys that you guys are good, but the percentage of you making it is not good. Yeah. I will never say you can't do it. I want, you know, I don't never, unless you're going to put it in the field. Yeah.
Um, but yeah, The percentage of the making is not good. And I was just telling my oldest son, I think I was telling both my sons the other day, I was like, nobody in my family on my side has a college degree. I go, Peyton, my oldest, he's a junior now at University of Utah. I go, you could be the first one to have a college degree. Like, who cares about baseball? You got to show up.
Who cares about baseball?
So anyways, I try to always preach that to them, like get that college degree.
For sure. Great. Four years of growing up. Yeah. Like you could make a lot of money and not have a college degree, obviously. Oh, sure. Of course you can. But. to have that college degree. And I always tell my boys too, like you're playing baseball and you're getting it paid for. Like, why would you not want to go to college? You know what I mean?
Like, and you're, like you said, you're developing and growing up for those four years.
Yes.
That's what we always talk about.
It really is. That's what everyone tells me.
Yes, for sure. So, yeah. I mean, like, honestly, like you, your, your business here. Like if you went to USC and my kid, you didn't know him. He came in and did a job interview with you and said he went to USC. He's not a big deal. Yeah. He's not. Oh yeah. You're in.
I think at times... they can want too much. You know what I mean? Like, Oh my Johnny is so good. He has 10 home runs, this, that he needs full ride. You know what I mean? He needs, we can't pay for anything. And there are certain situations, parents, they can't pay for college. Right. So I, I get those things, but like, I think it just goes back to like,
