Because like I said, if that kid is playing a sport and they do not want to play it,
colleges will see what kid is in it, what kid heart is not in it, what kid is having fun, what kid is just not having fun and looking at their stands, looking at their parents every play because their parent is guiding them.
Their parents is pushing them rather than the kid truly embodying it and having fun with it.
So reach out to somebody like me.
Somebody that can say, man, your kid is not getting a scholarship in football because...
No skill set, no feet work.
They're not having fun.
They raise their hand when the coach asks who wants to take a break every time.
And just almost evaluation, like somebody that can keep it real to say, what else does your kid love?
Yeah, the structure is the biggest point.
And if one is not there, well, 100%, yes, because you're getting a positive reinforcement, you're getting a negative reinforcement, and you're...
You have somebody to look up to, to where if that father is leading by example through actions, that kid is already a hit.
Rather than if a father is not there, then now that kid does not know what he or she does not know because there's no positive reinforcement.
Um, there's no negative reinforcement.
And if there is from the mother, it's certain things that I always would say a mother can say and do and gives that feeling behind it that a father can't do.
And it's things that a father can say and do that a mother can say and do.
And it's nothing, but nothing there that to the kid, no, no feelings.
