Expanded Story: Plenty of talented kids get looks. Few stay on the field. Why? Because culture outlasts flash. I saw stars fizzle out after a semester because they didn’t know how to handle pressure, prepare, or stay coachable. Meanwhile, kids who came up through elite systems, systems that emphasized film study, communication, and resilience, were thriving. Talent opened the door. But culture kept them in the room.
Lesson: Talent may open doors. But culture determines who stays and who gets cut.
Call to Action: Repost if you’re committed to building a sustainable future, not just a flashy highlight reel. #LongevityWins
