Sports is perhaps life’s ultimate motivator. Winning a game after everyone has written you off is a feeling that only a few can describe or even claim to have experienced but those that have are a lucky bunch. Professional athletes go through these moments several times in their career and when two titans meet, they usually strike up a familiar conversation. Usually, and not always, as witnessed between the former MLB legend and NFL coach, Prime Time.

When the opportunity was laid down to meet MLB Icon and 5x World Series Champion Derek Jeter, only a few would have shied away from the opportunity. Least of all a member of the sports fraternity that appreciated winning in clutch moments. But fact indeed is stranger than fiction as this meeting did not go to plan for NFL coach, Deion Sanders.

The New York Yankees are known as the winningest franchise in MLB. With 27 pennants to their name, they certainly know how to get it done in the right moments. Having had numerous great escapes from the jaws of defeat, the Yankees’ icon Derek Jeter has needless to say been a part of them all. He is someone used to the big moments.

Monikered ‘Coach Prime’, Deion Sanders is in his debut season as a coach for the Colorado college team and is part of a unique club. Having played in both the Super Bowl and the World Series, Coach Prime was clearly one who understood the need of the hour.

The win has generated intrigue and interest all over the country, especially for the player who has had such an illustrious career.

Never the easiest thing to speak to your fellow athletes, but the two seemed to handle the opportunity with panache. While Sanders ejected himself from the conversation, he did so smiling all the way and Jeter did not look too upset either.
