It's this aspect that really creeps me out about a lot of these College coaches that are big time recruiters only to hit the bricks once things get dicey and the NCAA watchdogs start snipping at their heels. These people are trained to do one thing and to go about it in a very specific way; keep working, keep your head down, and just focus on football, everything else will take care of itself. Now, you're in an environment where you cannot just focus on one thing, but lots of things in order to maintain your health and well-being.
I know that this can be seen as a stretch on my part, but I can't help but think that a lot of these organizations are built with the athlete first, and the person second. I'm not so sure that that's the best way to be.
I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.
Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
I guess in some regard its similar to the military. I was in the ARMY from Oct 01' to Oct 04' and it can be pretty hard to adjust from a hostile environment back to life as a civilian.... it was for me at least. It seems that there's a parallel between the two in the sense of structure and overall lifestyle. It just takes time to adjust after the initial shock he's going through wears off. Some have no problem and can "shut it off" almost instantly , some take years, and some never do.
