Humility for starters. Exactly one year ago, my son was redshirted and when I heard those words they were almost too shocking to believe. I learned that I needed to be strong for him as opposed to being a shoulder to cry on. To speak frankly with him. Believe the best advice I could give when there was a setback was to work harder rather than waste anytime feeling sorry for himself.

Learned that there are lots of great players in college and you just don't go there and throw your hat in the ring with them. You have to earn everything and actually fight for it. The college game or the pro game for that matter brings out the competitive side because every kid wants something and generally wants it very badly. Every kid was a star in high school and you become just one of many.

Learned to lower my expectations because that made life easier. It is better to be pleasantly surprised than disappointed.

Learned how exciting the pleasant surprises can be at the next level
