"Look little brother... I know playing football is something you enjoy and making it to the ISFL is your dream, just like it was mine. What you don't understand is the hard work that went on behind the scenes of me kicking ass on the football field. I had to study and keep my grades up all the time. My backup plan was to be a computer programmer. Yes, you need to have a backup plan because making it to the ISFL is a one in a million chance. You need to prepare for life like you're not going to play football at the highest level. I know it's harsh, but it's the truth. There's going to come a time when you realize that it's a possibility that you don't make it, and then you're going to thank me for telling you to have a backup plan. I know this isn't what you want to hear right now, but I can't let you go through your life thinking that something close to impossible is something that will definitely happen to you. You can still train and put in the work for football, but you absolutely must be prepared to be told no when it comes to this."
