Speaker 2:Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of Faith, family and Fishing. Welcome. We are a podcast aimed at restoring family to any listener. That's a terrible whatever. That's what it is.
Speaker 1:You know what it is Said, what we said so this episode is going to tackle I think what is one of the?
Speaker 2:biggest idols, especially here, you know, in america, especially here in florida. Um, so let's just jump right into it, because there'll be plenty to talk about this could be a multi-part let me start by asking this is your child the next league mvp? Oh and, and I mean be honest they might be right, they very well could be but probably statistically, because that's what we're, that's what we're going to use to produce some facts to go over this all right, so I'm going to talk a little bit about like when I was growing up, um.
Speaker 2:For those of you that don't know, I played sports my entire life, um, sports was a huge part of my life, so please don't take this episode as bashing or trashing or yeah, um, but one of the things especially we've told our kids is this are you playing the sport because it's fun or are you playing it because you think it's going to take you somewhere? And I think there's a big difference between those two things, as well as the phenom that we see now. I mean, you go to any ballpark, you know, and I'll tell you guys from the get, go right out the gate, baseball is going to get picked on the most Baseball, softballball, pretty much same thing, um, but any saturday and sunday you go to any ballpark and you will literally see hundreds, if not thousands, depending on how big the the tournament is right of young, Of young athletes who no other way to even say it have dedicated their life Literally To a sport.
Speaker 2:Yes, so to jump into that real quick, we're going to look at some probability statistics. Okay, I like statistics, so the first one is from Ohio State University and I know I said baseball is going to get picked on, but this one deals specifically with football. All right. And this is, like I said, from Ohio State University, the Ohio State University.
Speaker 1:The Ohio State University.
Speaker 2:From their College of Public Health. They did. It's called Odds of High School Players Going Pro. This is not Little League Right. This is not rec ball. This is not Little League Right. This is not rec ball. This is not travel ball. This is you are on a high school team, your chances of going pro for football, which is the most popular sport in the United States. Okay, all right, the next stats I get into. I'll break down that. But football is by far the most popular sport in the united states.
Speaker 2:Okay, um, so this information is from 2016, so understand these numbers are are a little bit bigger right now, okay, um, but in 2016 there were a total of 1,083,308 participants in high school football. Wow, now that counts all divisions, but that's how many there were. Okay. Of that, of that 1,083,308, 73,660 went on to play in college. Oh okay, Not even 10%. That is 6.8% of all high school athletes. Okay, of those 73,660, 251 went on to play professional.
Speaker 1:Wow, wow.
Speaker 2:So less than 1%, isn't it? Of total high school players, it is 0.023% Wow. That's crazy. It's not even a whole percent, yeah. Like we are talking about 251 out of a million. Wow Okay. I mean, even if you look at just going from college to professional, I mean you're talking about 251 out of 73,000. Yeah, I mean, that's only two and a half percent.
Speaker 1:Gosh Roughly, I mean mean it's not exactly right I go like the odds of that it's a lot of slimming up playing to only have 251.
Speaker 2:So so remember that 0.023. Okay, now we're going to go through other sports. All right, these aren't as well. Broke down, um, and this one is from baseballwebcom, so high school athletes. All right it that was another one.
Speaker 1:That was my thumb, sure it was well. See, look, I did it again.
Speaker 2:Oh gosh, how hey I wanted to do how to fart in bed you did. Okay, that's true um, anyway, all right. So this is high school athletes. For basketball, there are 549 000. For baseball, there are 455,300. You ready?
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:For football there are 983,600.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's huge.
Speaker 2:So when I go, hey, football is the most popular sport it is. I mean you're talking about almost doubling. You are double baseball Anyway. So if you play other sports you do have a higher percentage because there's fewer kids Right so. So for basketball, all right, you have a point zero, three percent of going from high school to the pros. And baseball, you have a point five percent. Wow.
Speaker 2:Of going from high school to the pros. All right Now, I say all of that because it is very apparent as we look at family. Sorry, it is very apparent there is a religion. Oh yeah. And it is sports.
Speaker 3:Uh huh, is a religion? Oh yeah, and it is sports, uh huh.
Speaker 2:However, when you mathematically break down the probability of your child, specifically, specifically and and I'm not saying you don't have a phenom you might have a right right.
Speaker 2:But when you mathematically break down that probability, you are talking about such minute numbers. I mean, when you're sitting here going out of a million players, 251 of them are going to make it to the league, right, and even when you look at that 251, how many of them are making that into a career, right? You know especially and I'm going to talk about football a lot because that's what I grew up playing, I mean football and baseball, track weightlifting, but football was like my primary right right how many are going to make that a career?
Speaker 2:because it only takes one hit one injury willis mcgahee. I'll never forget it. 2000 or or 2001,. Somewhere in there, the U right University of Miami. He's playing in the BCS championship. Willis McGahee is projected to go first round. He was a running back for the University of Miami Is projected to go first round. He's sitting here looking down millions of dollars of contracts right.
Speaker 2:Just one of the best players in the nation. Definitely going to be one of those 251 players. Right, it's towards the end of the game. Miami has this huge lead. Willis McGahee is running down the sideline. A cornerback came running in, dove, hit him in the leg, busted his knee.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God.
Speaker 2:Now he winds up getting surgery. He winds up going later in the draft. He does wind up getting drafted by a team, but he was never the same.
Speaker 1:Ever, Same thing with Bo Jackson.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, but yes and no. But he was like. He was like. Bo Jackson could have arguably gone down as one of the greatest athletes to ever play any sport. But his longevity was cut short because of one tackle baseball. I mean even because because I get it football's a violent sport, like I get it.
Speaker 1:But even if you look at baseball, you tear a rotor cuff right rotator cuff whatever rotors are cars and you've been working on the car, oh you know you, you trip over.
Speaker 2:I mean there's been players that have tripped over a base toward their acl yeah right and and it's like, oh, I'm done right and I go, and yet we put so much stock into this.
Speaker 2:I mean, think about it. We know personally families we have been that family that every minute you have of spare time is given to practice, to a tournament, to something, not to count the amount of money that gets spent Time. So yeah, I, I mean growing up my sister did travel ball, um, so every summer, every weekend, my mom and my sister were gone right, it was hotels and in tournaments and and all of this stuff. And I go, and again, for what?
Speaker 1:right, and I think people have a hard time when they say for what they're like, well for the kids, Right, but for what? At what cost? Because it doesn't only. It's not just that particular kid. You have other kids that are being impacted by it. I mean, and you know you and I have had conversations with kids that have been impacted by it, you know there's siblings, well, even our kids, yeah, yes, and that's what I'm going to do, cause I don't want to shame anyone.
Speaker 1:No, like I mean, we've had those hard conversations. The Holy Spirit can be your. Right your guide.
Speaker 2:Right, but but like, even with our family, you know, we've had our over and over and over. Hey, like we can do this, but understand saying yes to this is saying no to that yeah, it's saying no to everything else. So you know, surfing and and paddleboarding and and all of the other things we do understand that's going to be a no right because of this even when JT played football.
Speaker 1:I mean there were times, at one time we had to drive to Lakanto. I mean we, you know a school night you know, we have plans and we're gonna go do stuff and it's like oh, he's got it you know, found out that day and it wasn't a scheduled game, right?
Speaker 2:so, everyone, this is a three hour drive, three hours right.
Speaker 1:So it impacts everybody, and you, I, I don't think I know for me. I know as far as our kids go. Like one child may have felt neglected because all the time attention and resources were going to the other child and I'm glad.
Speaker 2:I'm glad you brought that up, okay, because I want to talk about that, because let's talk about the flip side of it. So, like my family, we were a sports right. You had to pick something, you had to do something. My mom, you know, did an amazing job of going. Hey, if you have too much spare time on your hands you're just gonna get in trouble um, and I, and I agree with that.
Speaker 2:I understand that idle mind is the devil's playground but on the flip side, you know me and you have had conversations where you're like I look back and go. I wish I would have played, or you know, at least played a sport, something weightlifting, um, and I go when we look at the two sides of that same coin. Right, you know, you sit here and go. You can overdo something just as much as you can underdo something.
Speaker 1:Right, I think they should be doing some thing, maybe not necessarily sports, if that's not their thing, but they should have some activity that is growing their interest and, you know, encouraging that, something, something.
Speaker 2:I agree, but I go. They shouldn't have just one activity.
Speaker 1:No, because what happens when that activity is over? What happens after that injury? What happens when that season's? Done what happens when you graduate, you don't get a scholarship, you don't go pro. What is happening to them mentally? Because there is.
Speaker 2:You put all your eggs in one basket.
Speaker 1:There is going to be. There will be something after that's going to, and we've seen it, we've talked to people, you know they had no idea what to do with their life because their entire life, as the world was going around around them, all it was was the sport. So then they didn't know what to do.
Speaker 2:To even branch out from that. You know, I've talked with a lot of married couples right where their whole marriage was geared around raising children. Yes, and then the children move away and it's like they don't even know each other because they didn't take time during their marriage to date. One another right, you know, it was just like hey, you know, we got married, we had kids, and then, 18 years later, here we are going. You know, 20 years later, whatever you know, here we are going. Um, do we even have anything in common?
Speaker 2:right you know, and it is the same thing like parents today, families today, one of the things I see is like you want to be so specialized mm-hmm because that's what everyone's doing, and I get it.
Speaker 2:You're just trying to give your kid that extra edge up you know, and I and I go and I understand that, but but understand, like, what happens when that doesn't work out right? What happens when, for me, for instance, mm-hmm. Honestly, I hit going into my senior year of high school and I was like I don't want to do this anymore and I was completely lost because what to do everything I had done up to that point was to prepare for continuing to, to play right.
Speaker 2:So when I decided I don't want to do this anymore, I was like, okay, who am I? I remember, after I, after I quit football, um, I went to one game. Um, since that, yeah, yeah, you don't really watch it, and and I went like sitting in the stands looking at the sidelines, seeing all my former teammates and going this sucks.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like who am I now?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that really impacted you.
Speaker 2:And yeah, I mean it took me a couple of years to like bring my identity over and find out that there was more than just the athlete, right, because up to that point, that's all I was was that athlete. And then you know, so it did. It took me years to go, okay, well, who am I now that I'm not an athlete?
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Now that I'm not on the team, now that I'm not, you know, doing that. Right. Who am I now? That right? Who am I now? And and I go, and that's where I would really caution a lot of parents um to take a step not to not do no, no but take a step back and go. Okay, for starters, one are you trying to live your dreams, like through your child? Are you sitting here and going? Hey, I could have went to the league or I remember how much fun I had.
Speaker 1:So I'm going to. I want you to have that much fun. Are you putting something on them that they can't carry, a weight that they can't bear, and then you're actually doing damage in the long run right. Taking it back to even a deeper level. You know if you're. How many times have we talked to people and I mean, you know what it's like. I can't. I can't attend church per se. We have a tournament every weekend. I can't come to the wednesday service. My kids can't do youth group. My kid whatever right, I go.
Speaker 2:What? Because again saying yes to this?
Speaker 1:is saying no to that right so, and and there are some families that are sports families, that they do bible study on the road, they do listen to church online, like they do what they can to to you know what they can um. There are families that you know love jesus and do all the things um, but that's typically not what happens no, it's not because that that things have to get put to the side and put away for you to focus on the sport.
Speaker 2:And honestly, that is the biggest thing right, you're fine Is what is your priority, what's your goal? What's the end game? You know, in Matthew 633, jesus says seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you and for most of us, we look at that as a priority list. Okay, so first is Jesus, second is, you know, my spouse third is my kids my you know, and so on. That's not what Jesus is saying Really. What he's saying is seek me, don't worry about everything else.
Speaker 1:Right, I'll fill in all the gaps.
Speaker 2:Right Like, seek me first, don't worry about all this.
Speaker 1:Does this?
Speaker 2:Because if you look at the verses right before that, that's what he's talking about, right Like even the lilies of the field even though they're just grass, are they not as splendid as Solomon field? Even though they're just grass, are they not as splendid? As.
Speaker 2:Solomon, you know the, the, the most rich king to ever have lived it. Are they not more splendid than that? Look at the birds of the air, right, does not the father feed them? See, we get wrapped up in, you know. And really, that's what boils down to is it's a lack of faith, it's a lack of trust, it's a lack of sitting here and going, god's going to take care of me and it's sitting here and going and I and I go.
Speaker 2:What are you saying to your kid when you're like hey, this is the, this is the one thing. So what happens when that one thing? Goes away right what happens when they're not one of those 251 players that get. What happens when?
Speaker 1:they go. I really just don't want to do this anymore. I'm tired, right. I just want to hang out with my friends.
Speaker 2:I want to whatever and I go, and yet you've put all your faith, all your hope, all your trust into this one thing and that idol is going to let you down right.
Speaker 1:That pedestal is going to drop right and it's going to be messy and and and.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they could become one of those 251 players, absolutely, 100%. You know they could become the league MVP. Yeah, maybe. And I mean, do you really want to roll the dice on that, though? Right, like, and when they are so sucked into this one thing that they don't even experience anything else?
Speaker 1:There are people that are doing a disservice. They don't go on family vacations because they have to go to the tournament. So again, I do go. Look at the other siblings and I go.
Speaker 2:Your other kids are paying for this as well, in a different way depending on maybe, yes, you know, um, I know for me, like when my mom and my sister you know, because by that point in our life, it was just me and my younger sister at the house.
Speaker 2:So when my mom and my younger sister would go to these tournaments a lot of times, that would give me and my dad, you know time, just me and him, and just like when you go shrimping, which would always which would always turn into, yeah, us doing work around the house I have uh the girls and I have a girls night right so yeah, sure, there are things that come up, of course well, I don't, but I just want to say I don't want to like bash.
Speaker 1:I mean I go, I get it.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying be aware, yes pay attention, see if there's anything that you're missing because you are, because saying yes to this is saying no to everything else. Right, and that goes for any fishing. For me now, right, like I go, you know I I take people fishing and and a lot of times, like you know, especially when I'm taking a dad and their kids out, you know you're on the way back and and you know the dad's like, oh man, like this was so much fun, this was so relaxing right and then next they're, you know, shooting you a text.
Speaker 2:Hey, you know, I'm getting my first fishing pole. Like which pole should I get? What you know and all of this, and you can see, oh, like you now have this brand new thing in your life that you would have never experienced because you were so locked in to everything else going on right in um, seven habits of highly effective people.
Speaker 2:Right, steven covey is, is in, uh, the chapter. I'm trying to remember which habit it goes to, but, um, and then, of course, off the top of my head, i'm'm going to forget. Does it be proactive? Begin with the end of mind. Begin with the end of mind. Um, you know he gives the illustration of climbing. You know spending all this time climbing the ladder you know the corporate ladder only to get to the top and realize you're on the wrong wall.
Speaker 1:Right and, and I go that one hit me like a ton of bricks.
Speaker 2:I remember when, when you were reading it, and then I read the book and I was like, oh, yeah, oh my, because it was like you know things in our life started shifting yeah, you, you get to the top and you're like, oh, this ain't even where I wanted to be um, I had a buddy you know he got. He got a scholarship to go play um at a school and you know, I think he was gone like two or three weeks and then next thing, you know, he was back and we were like, oh, you guys like on break or like you know what's happening, and he's like man, you don't understand. Like when you go to college, you know, when you go to that next level, it's different. He's like man, you live with the football team, you eat with the football team, you go to class with the football team like everything revolves around football. You're up in the morning doing workouts. You're going to class. You're you're watching film, you're, you know, you're you're hitting a workout. You're like everything revolves around football.
Speaker 2:He's like man, I just right, he got to the top of that wall and was like this is not what I wanted this is not the wall I wanted to be on and, and you know again, you know, for all of all of us out here that go, oh well, you know, from the time they walk, they got to start training, right, I mean, honestly, I went to school with one of those 251 players, right, like you know, my freshman year he was a senior. Um, one of the kids on the football team wound up going and playing um for the browns and then for the bucks, wound up winning a super bowl like uh, went to the pro bowl a couple times, um, you know he was one of those he was one of those 251 players.
Speaker 2:yeah, he didn't even start playing the game, though, until he was in ninth grade. So I go, here's the deal. Like, like, take someone like Shaq, right, dude, you're seven, four, 320 pounds, you're going to make it. You're a basketball player. Like, what else can you do? You know the big show. Okay, he's a wrestler, and I know that's not what we were talking about, but you take the big show again.
Speaker 1:You're going to do something.
Speaker 2:You're seven, four 350 pounds like, or 450 pounds. You know he was a used car salesman and they were like this ain't for you. Like you know, he's sitting here going. I hated it because we go on these test drives and I wouldn't be able to fit in the car you know, and, and, but I liked being around people. I like performing.
Speaker 2:I like you know, and, and, lo and behold, becomes a wrestler right right I go if we look at psalm 139 and we see, before you were, you know, before you were born, like I knit you together in your mother's womb. I gave you what you're going to need to be successful and I go. So if you really think that giving up your entire summer, giving up all possible time you have to do something else, is the only way, here's the deal. If it's going to be, it'll be, it will be Right. And again, I'm a huge proponent of working hard.
Speaker 1:And sport, like, yeah, you like sports. A huge proponent. Well, just with anything, right, it teaches you so much, right.
Speaker 2:Sharpen the saw, work hard you, whatever you're, again the book of Ecclesiastes, whatever your hand finds to do do with all your might right.
Speaker 2:Work hard. The soul of the slugger craves and gets nothing Right. The soul of the diligent is richly supplied. Work hard. I'm all for hard work, but I sit here and go. If all you are experiencing is that one thing and your finances are going towards this one thing, and your time is going towards this one thing, and your time is going towards this one thing, and you are so wrapped up in this one thing, you better be beyond certain that this is going to pan out right because you're wasting a lot of your time with that right instead of going.
Speaker 2:Hey, let's broaden this. I go honestly, like we. You know our kids have done everything from horseback riding to hunting, fishing, diving.
Speaker 1:Volleyball, softball football.
Speaker 2:Like we went, hey, like we want to give you.
Speaker 1:Every opportunity.
Speaker 2:To experience a vast range of things, and then that way, you can sit here and go. Okay, this is what I fell in love with this is what I keep coming back to, this is what it is for me, and then we can hone in on that and I go because, again, I love my kids dearly and support them in everything they do, and maybe one of them will be that one that makes it to the league.
Speaker 1:Hopefully pays for their college, if that's what they want to do.
Speaker 2:Right, but I sit here and go.
Speaker 1:I don't even know if my they may not even want to go to college Right, right, right.
Speaker 2:You know, like I know, one of our kids goes back and forth with that and, let's be honest, we're not those parents that are sitting here going. You have to go to college.
Speaker 1:And we're not those parents that are sitting here going you have to go to college, no, and we're educators, which is funny, right, but I go.
Speaker 2:I mean there are a lot of ways to make money in this world.
Speaker 1:Go to a trade school. Find that, don't require you going a hundred thousand dollars in the day an entrepreneur do something right if college is what you need to do, what you want to do then you got to go, do you? Want to go be a sports medicine doctor, you better go to school.
Speaker 2:You know you're not gonna go earn some certificate online and go work on people why quacks exist, and that's what I mean I go like, but we put so much into that and there's so much and you miss out on so much in life, because your life becomes that yes, and there's such a I don't know.
Speaker 1:I would look at the mental strain. That happens to kids too and it wears them down and you know they just don't know how to function outside of that.
Speaker 2:And let your kid be a kid. Yeah, you know like, yeah, do rec ball. Do you know? Do league ball, like. But why sit here and go, hey, for the next six months, like, here's your diet, here's your private trainer, here's your your diet, here's your private trainer, here's your like.
Speaker 2:Because I'm gonna be honest something the vast majority of you, 99.977 of you you're wasting your money right I mean even if you look at just going from high school to pro or high school to college, right, I mean six percent, so ninety four percent of you are wasting your money.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:And again, just check yourself Is this for you, for your dreams, for your memories? Living?
Speaker 2:vicariously. There's so many ways to make memories with your kids. Yeah, Go in the water. I mean, come on, that Memories living vicariously, man. There's so many ways to make memories with your kids. Yeah, go in the water. I mean, come on, that's my heart right Go snorkeling.
Speaker 1:I mean, we live in.
Speaker 2:Florida. I can literally be in the water every day of the year. Even with this cold winter we just had, I can literally be in the water every day of this year. Yeah, you'll be fine and I go. There are a billion different ways. I just found a state park here in Florida that has a herd of wild buffalo. Oh, really, and I went. Yep, I know where we're going this summer.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, that's fantastic.
Speaker 2:And it's down by the Everglades, so guess where it all just connects, right. Right. And I go. The other thing. I mean think about it when it comes to kids. They're young once.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:I look at our oldest now you know he's going to be 18 this year and I look at him and I go, man.
Speaker 1:My brain can't even wrap itself around that sometimes Right. We're old. I just look at him, I go, I still see my baby.
Speaker 2:But on the same hand I go all those memories like, yeah, but on the same hand.
Speaker 1:I go all those memories Like yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't get to relive those you know like hey, you want to climb on my hand? Touch the ceiling.
Speaker 1:I was just thinking about that. Go ahead, try to lift them out.
Speaker 2:I mean I could if I had to but like I could get them out of a burning building. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, hand anymore, touch the ceiling, daddy, let me touch the ceiling, and that's what I mean, like, but we spend so much time just focused on we got practice and got a tournament, and we got this and we got this and we got the. When are you sitting here and going? Hey, like, because we say this is important with our words, but what are you showing your actions?
Speaker 1:right, do you have family dinners together, do you guys? Spend quality time together right like.
Speaker 2:Miss a game here and there, miss a practice like no, if you're gonna make a commitment, be committed, and and that's a different, you know that's it, that's fine.
Speaker 1:You know how I feel about if you need a mental break, go take a mental break I understand that, but I also know the lesson that goes with. Hey, I made a commitment but you and I have talked about your lack of ability to rest properly oh, I get it so I get it.
Speaker 2:I'll help you with that but like growing up, man, you were sick, like you didn't get all, like you didn't get out of bed. You were sick. You were too sick to go to school, you were too sick to go play, like and I go, it's the same thing, right, like I go. But why do we put so much stock into that?
