hey what's up everyone morey croson here and i have a really important message to get out today
so i'm going to go ahead and just hop right into the video and with what i do i have the benefit
of being able to work with a different bunch of different athletes from all over the world
and really get to work with a lot of different teams a lot of different socio economic classes
and you know with that i get to really see and get exposed to a lot of different parents and a lot of
different athletes and a lot of different coaches and there's one big thing that i think is really
hindering the development and ends up being like the achilles heel
for a lot of different athletes and i know and i understand where it comes from and why it
is an issue but i really want to just be able to get it out there so then maybe you can get
some exposure to it and some truth behind it and some honesty with it and hopefully it can help you
and being able to build a better relationship with your you know maybe your son or your daughter or
an athlete on your team and you know what that is is just being a little bit more unrealistic with a
particular athlete so for instance and obviously i see this a lot with like quarterbacks so um being
able to work with quarterbacks you know when when you go and start to compare a division one
quarterback or an nfl quarterback to you know somebody that's in the ninth grade 10th grade
and you know you have these big aspirations and you start to to talk to them as if they are you
know going to be a division one athlete or uh an nfl athlete when they're 14 15 years old
i think the overall goal setting behind it is 100 right and i think to shoot for the stars 100
right but i also think there has to be a certain realistic standpoint with where you're at right
so you're not a division one quarterback until you get a division one offer you're not an nfl
quarterback until you get an nfl offer you're not a or drafted by the nfl or a contract with
the nfl so you know what i see is some of these athletes they think that they should be getting
a division one scholarship but they're not getting a division one scholarship
and they've been doing that you know they start when they're 14 or 13 or 12 however young they are
they believe that they're going to be this high achieving athlete and deserve to have a lot of
special treatment given to them because of that and what i see that ends up happening
is now the person from a mentality standpoint and from a work ethic standpoint becomes a little bit
more weak becomes just a little bit softer so there's kids that are you know grinding that
still think that they need to to work hard to to earn that division one scholarship in comparison
to the kid that thinks that you know they should just be a division one guy you know they have
parents that are telling that oh yeah you should get a scholarship you're this you're that you're
going to be an i thought that you're going to do this or coaches that are in the same uh category
they're just not realistic with where the kids at the best way to take a step forward i've learned
for myself personally is to be realistic with where you're at right you're not going to be
you're not a division one caliber athlete until you get a division one offer so stop trying to act
like you're getting some type of cheated because you're not getting an offer because those guys
are the first guys that go down with planks or with some type of strength training exercise
or some type of plyometric exercise you know they just develop a little bit more of a weaker mindset
and being able to get through those tough times get through the situations that are uncomfortable
because whenever they have they're dealt with that uncomfortable situation of not getting a
division offer and having to maybe admit to that there's always some type of excuse around it oh
it's this person's fault or we don't get this type of exposure oh we don't get this we don't get that
so the first person to kind of go down when i see them actually doing something that will be
a benefit for their overall performance and i think that's really impacting where their
overall development is going to be from both an athletic standpoint as well as just an overall
person right so if you have somebody that is close to you and you know they're unrealistic
with where they are and where they want to be then i would just you know please share this
video with them and let them know that you know by continuing to work hard and be true to where
you are we'll make it so then the vision to where it is that you want to be will be a lot more clear
so hopefully this is able to resonate with you if you haven't subscribed the channel please go
ahead and do that right now like the video as well that's really important to us again share
if this resonates with you or anybody close to you and then if you have any recommendations or
comments please leave those down below we'd love to hear from you and love to hear any type of
comments you have especially on this video i think this could be really really impactful for really a
lot of different athletes out there so as always thanks for watching and we'll talk to you soon
