Reality and hope for improvement are NOT mutually exclusive

The kids I coach right now are a lot more prepared for this society than the average teenager, that's not the issue. I would also say reality and hope for improvement are mutually inclusive. Don't mistake my mindset of positivity for naivety or blind optimism. I know what the fuck I am doing with these kids and it goes way beyond just Football.
