Being there for them, listening, providing guidance and being a positive role model are just a few ways to build an individual's esteem. Dealing with people on and off the field is the same for me. I enjoy hanging out and listening to people talk. My father always said if you keep your mouth shut and really ... things may sound idealistic, but it is the youthful enthusiasm that makes me believe I can make the world a better place.
