That’s what you call a heart-to-heart conversation! The Colorado Buffaloes head coach finally got time off his busy schedule to talk with his son, Deion Sanders Jr. The conversation between Deion and Bucky rolled out on the breakfast table. And guess what was the hot topic of the talk?

The Buffs HC shared some of his diet plans while remembering his wife, Carolyn Chambers. While Deion has been particularly strict about what he feeds his body, his workout game also runs strong, even though it sometimes landed him in trouble!

Coach Prime remembers wife amidst sharing wellness wisdom

As the Buffs are headed toward the 2024 season, they have been mindful of their lifestyle, which will help them give 100% to the game. And it starts with their mentor, Deion. As captured by Well Off Media on August 6, the Buffs HC was spotted having his meal. The spread that lay in front of him had nothing unhealthy. He shared how he ensures his diet includes the necessary nutrients, “This right here… stock every morning immunity, vitamin..pineapple, orange, lime. Turmeric and ginger okay?”

Who would have thought that the conversation would roll to his wife? Deion then gushed about his wife, “I’m trying to get so fine tell you my wife beat it for a game.” Even though we are not sure whether his wife was the one who encouraged him to the fitness path or not, this is something that the Buffs HC takes too seriously. All this is for one thing: the 56-year-old “wants to be good.”  

Deion Sanders and his fitness junkie chronicles 

Ahead of the Black and Gold game this April, Deion had to eat out on one occasion. The health freak that Coach Prime is, he went straight into the kitchen to talk with the chef.  “I told Chef I got to get rid of some of this belly fat. I’m trying to get lean and need for this season so Chef please explain to them Chef what you got me on,” revealed the concerned Buffs HC. 

But he had nothing to worry about since the chef assured him that he would only be using vegetable juices for his meal prep: “You can drink it you concentrate all the vitamins and uh minerals that are in there your body feels amazing for trying to cover with calories and some fat is the way to do it while staying healthy.” Not only diet. Deion is equally particular about his workout regimen.

Last month, he was on a solo trip to Mexico to boost his spirit before the season kicked in. He had also hit the beach, overcoming his excruciating leg pain for his morning run. A few months back, he was holidaying with his sons in the Dominican Republic but decided to stay committed to his fitness routine there too. He then went out for a jog. And guess what happened then? Deion Sanders got lost in the unknown land. Hence, the Buffs HC’s commitment to a healthy lifestyle is of epic proportions.
