Deion Sanders Five Core Principles:
Smart
Tough
Fast
Discipline
Character
Smart Description:
Smart is not just book smart. It’s being smart enough to make proper decisions in the midst of a storm, in the midst of chaos, or in the midst of an opportunity.
Tough Description:
Tough is not just physically tough. We need young men who are mentally tough. We’re old-school coaches. We tell you unapologetically the truth. If you’re not mentally strong, you won’t be able to handle it, especially on this team.
Fast Description:
Fast is not just running speed. It means we give you a playbook and expect you to learn, understand, and retain the contents. We expect you to make proper decisions ‘on the fly’. We expect you to go to the training room when you are hurt to get proper help to heal quickly because you are doing the right thing.
Discipline Description:
Discipline is the most essential attribute of them all. It shows up in every part of your life, not just football. Patterns of undisciplined behavior often come out at the most inopportune moments. The person who refuses to wear black socks in the training room may be the same person who costs you the game.
Character Description:
Character will take you much farther than your ability will. Character is everything.
