Entitlement culture

A few weeks ago my step son asked me how he did after his basketball game. As we were walking across the court, I told him you could have hustled harder and completed some easy shots. He looked at me as if to say, “come on”. I asked him, “ do you want me to be honest with you, or do you want me to kiss your butt and tell you how awesome you are?” He agreed that he’d much rather have the honesty. He’s not afraid to compete because we’ve taught him that almost every aspect of your life is a form of competition, and nobody gives you a leg up because you think you deserve better.

You people that say players like LN are doing what’s best for themselves have created a culture of entitlement for athletes. How many shy away from competition because their mommas or daddies convince them that they are the best and they shouldn’t have to compete.

He’s a freaking Redshirt freshman and he’s already giving up on his team because he feels entitled to start.
