Days After “Spanking Children” Saga, Deion Sanders Has Another Piece of Vital Advice for Young Ones

Deion Sanders has a mammoth task lying ahead this season. The 2x Super Bowl winner and former Jacksonville head coach addressed his Colorado Buffaloes team for the first time since the tumultuous transfer portal drama in the past few months. However, it’s not just the Buffalo roster that Prime Time inspired. In the last week, Deion Sanders has been full of advice of all kinds. Some good, some controversial. After touching on parenthood, this time Coach Prime dwelled on toxic friendships. 

Days after his pro-spanking post on Instagram, Sanders shared another golden nugget for people who want to reach the next level in their professional fields. And it had to do with the kind of company one keeps. The former Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers cornerback knows the perfect way to spot the rotten apple in every group.

A wise man once said that every human being is the sum total of the five people they spend the most time with. CU head coach Deion Sanders is a strict believer in this philosophy. The 8x Pro Bowler shared his words of wisdom via an Instagram story this week. 

“A person with nothing to lose will help you lose everything you ever worked for. Choose your company wisely,” Deion Sanders quoted. 

This is part of a series of learning quotes that Sanders has shared this past week. While most of his followers and fans will agree with this saying, the feeling wasn’t the same when Sanders shared the pros of getting spanked by their elders.

“My parents spanked me as a child, now I suffer from a psychological condition called respect for others,” Prime Time shared on IG. Many protested this parenting style. However, fellow great and NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal wholeheartedly agreed with the notion and shared it on his Instagram story. WWE legend Goldberg also endorsed the message from Prime Time with an applause emoji in the comments. 

Coach Prime had an equally powerful message for his Colorado players 

After a 1-11 season, and a mass exodus of players entering the transfer portal since Prime Time’s arrival from JSU, Deion Sanders addressed his college roster this week. And the message was entirely built on the tried and tested methods of achieving success in life. 

“Success is something, really a quality or goal that you set for yourself and you achieve it or obtain it – through discipline and routine. That’s success,” the former two-sport athlete said in a YouTube video posted on the Well Off Media channel. 

Whether his followers, players, and coaches adhere to his teachings will become clear once the college football season kicks off. After back-to-back SWAC championships, Sanders is aiming for the big leagues right now. And he will do whatever it takes to motivate his players and achieve their desired goal; a national collegiate championship trophy.
