I Get A Lot Of Parents Coming Up To Me, Telling Me They Are Grooming Their Kids To Be Professional Athletes. I'm Really Against That. I Think It's A Great Life, And Yeah, You Can Lead Them In That Direction. I Think A Lot Of Parents Live Their Lives Through The Kids. Because They Didn't Make It, They Want Their Kids To Make It. It Puts A Lot Of Undue Pressure On The Kids.
