Are you aware of the murky waters surrounding media rights in high school football? Join us in this episode as we navigate through this contentious issue, laying bare the fact that while parents and coaches are giving away students' media rights in Miami Dade County, the students aren't benefiting. We'll also examine the inspiring character of top recruit Travis Hunter, who suffered a lacerated liver due to a late hit but handled it with remarkable grace.

We then shift our focus to the culture within athletic programs and the fine line between demanding coaching and bullying. Hear how a coach's authority can become a tool for positive influence on their athletes. Additionally, we uncover the obscure terms in the college recruitment letters of intent that often leave parents and students in the lurch. The harsh reality is that misunderstanding these terms can lead to scholarship loss and unwelcome student loans. 

Finally, we underscore the value of reading and practicing right in football. It can protect an athlete's future and prevent ill-conceived social media posts after a team loss. We wrap up with a discussion on the importance of humility and respect in sports, recommending stepping out of your comfort zone and creating a vision.
