Glad to see we have a coach who understands his players are more than just football players. They're people too, and young inexperienced in life too.
How often have we read of former players who once had access to millions but are dead broke sometimes before or shortly after their career ends? Multiple reasons for this. Just like lottery jackpot winners, they deal with hanger-ons, irresponsible gifting, fleecing by family, friends, charities, churches, so-called investors and more. They need a financial plan, budget managing, and learning how to have one and make it mean something, no better time than right now. Hopefully, the players are smart enough to listen and implement what they hear and learn. Thank you Pruitt for caring about these players when they are both here now and long gone to prep them for what is to come.
For those interested, this article while basketball-related gives a pretty good idea of how our players can benefit if apply what's taught.
