Right you put them in this world and now you're responsible for that child and if you don't take responsibility you could get locked up because nowadays they got the CPS whatever coming out to see while your kid miss school five times now they're going to lock you up in a prison system not the child you know they're going to they consider it delinquency so you know there it's like my students that I teach tennis I'm not teaching too much right now but when I was I was responsible for the outcome of what they become and that's kind of like raising children that's weird that's why I'm a little bit afraid about race and children because I I fully realized responsibility that goes into ways of children and I have to really admire that in other people cuz I've seen how hard it is for low income people to raise children and hell I even help people to the extent you know give them money or whatever I had to do to try to help them because they're under so much burden trying to raise that child child constantly has needs that they're almost impossible for the parent to me and
Yeah because when I start dealing with people I don't know when I'm teaching them teaching and playing are two different things in your sport that I have to realize because people when you talk to people you're teaching people you have to get to you're getting to know the person way before you get a chance to teach them what grip to use on the forehand and if they don't like you as a person you're not even get a chance to even hit with them or teach them because you know what they're just going to be I say hey screw it they're going to leave and they might do that regardless whether you're a good person or not it doesn't matter maybe they just don't want to get to know you at all because most people have six friends or five friends you can count on your hand so they don't go outside that circle because they don't want to they don't trust anybody except they're close friends the hood they're not going outside that circle of comfortability people are not feeling comfortable outside the swamp because there's dangerous outside that swamp and they know it so what is that the insecurities that you have to replace that with confidence so once I get to that point then they trust me as a person and then we become friends and then we then I become a teacher or a companion and mentor whatever the hell you want to call yourself that can then be a role model or give advice or you don't pressure nobody do nothing you basically work with what they've already got if they're using two hands on their back hand and they're hitting the ball nicely why in the hell would you want to change that so what you want to try to do is develop the child with what he's got rather than trying to change people it's not changed and so there's so many things that we learn as we teach others that we never do when we are playing the game ourselves so it's a different psychological view the minute you start teaching what they say about teaching is you never really know the game until you start trying to teach it to somebody else that's when you really start deciding this is a good technique and this is not a good technique
Yeah that deprived environment matching growing up in a crap hole that s*** rats running around all over the place the kid never knew anything else he grows up kind of depressed and you know you are a product of your environment but I do know now that you can raise up above that environment like Muhammad Ali did people come out of low income areas and become millionaires too champions and what they can't change is not their environment but they can change the way they think and that's the psychological training I'm talking about money can't buy that basically you got to train them how to think
Right you want to give your kid opportunities and they don't get a lot of opportunities in the low income cities and stuff so you know what all they got you the parents they got to give those things money is not everything you got a psychologically trained there so they believe in themselves that that's all you can maybe you don't have two bucks maybe I've seen families with a guy the father didn't have a dog at least the father can be a mentor he can be he can tell his child to believe himself that he can do it that if all of us have an opportunity in life we going to take advantage of himself worth that's the greatest gift of all self-worth is the greatest gift of all to build confidence in your children so they can grow up and take advantage of the opportunities that they have in front of them and make the best of this short life that we have so they can Excel to be athletes and champions and compete and this world of competition in a jungle where
Yeah life is a game of survival in the cities I mean I never grew up in the hardcore City where you know Mike Tyson grew up where a man either fights or he gets killed you know bullets are spraying down the sidewalk when he's getting the tuna sandwich and you wonder why Mike Tyson so God damn tough well it's because when you interview this dude he was growing up on the most dangerous homicidal neighborhoods and low income neighborhoods in the world so if you're going to get into the rain with this guy you know with his past behind him he's going to kill you
