We have a whole generation of men who don't understand how much they mean to their kids.

Remember that mentor leadership is all about serving. Jesus said, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

If I can't get the captains to respond appropriately and show the leadership I expect, how is anyone else going to respond?

Keeping ridiculous hours doesn't mean you'll be successful.

I never wanted our players to think the Super Bowl was the ultimate. I always talk about 'Yes, we're going to win, but what are we going to do as we're winning? What are we going to do after we win?' Winning the Super Bowl is not the destination. It's not an end point. It's what you do from here.

We are all role models to someone in this world, and we can all have an impact - for good.
