Sanders in a candid revelation challenges the conventional narrative that surrounds the romantic Valentine’s Day celebration. Acknowledging the string of celebrations that unfold in rapid succession, Coach Prime comes with a thought-provoking question, “We got Christmas, Valentine’s, Mother’s Day is likely they’re in back to back right close, that’s a heck of a three now. What do we get in return? Nothing but the opportunity to be a blessing.”
He has come up with a mindset shift and urges his fans to recognize the value of being blessed all together rather than focusing on isolated occasions. In a world often fixated on grand gestures, Sanders reveals an unknown fact about himself, “I’m not a natural born giver. I’m a natural-born liver. I don’t believe in overshadowing all the rest of the days with one day. I believe in consistency of days.” He champions the idea that it is generosity that should permeate our lives consistently.

Shortly after Coach Prime finished his first season at Colorado, in a surprising revelation, he and his fiancé, Tracey Edmonds officially announced their separation. The couple had been together for an impressive 12 years. It was back in February 2019, that they got engaged and with this decided to transition from romantic partners to friends. Hailing from two different professional backgrounds, Sanders being at the helm of Buffaloes and Edmonds being an Emmy-winning producer, their 12-year journey had been a successful one.
Hence, they both decided to call it splits and end their relationship on a healthy note. The post made by Edmonds read, “To EVERYONE who has been there for us, supported us, and shown us love… We have mutually decided that it is best for us to move forward in life AS FRIENDS and have made this decision with love in our hearts, respect for each other, and appreciation for the time we’ve shared together.” Hence, this reflects Sanders’ philosophy to continue to be a positive force in people’s lives with whom he has come in contact in his lifetime.
