$45M-worth Deion Sanders opens up about one major regret in his career
Deion Sanders has had an illustrious sports career in both football and baseball. He has achieved what most people dream of, but that doesn't mean Coach Prime doesn't have regrets. In a recent video by "The Pregame Show" on YouTube, the Colorado Buffaloes coach talked about one major regret in his career.
Sanders pursued both football and baseball in the 1990s. He won two Super Bowl titles, getting a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his exploits. But he thinks he should have given it all to the other sport.
Here is what Buffaloes coach Sanders said:
“That’s my one regret… I still, to this day, have baseball dreams like when I sleep, I wake up, performing and I’m doing it, like dang! I should have gave all to
Prime Time, as he was called during his playing days, is the only athlete who has appeared in both the Super Bowl and the World Series. He featured for many teams like the New York Yankees, the Cincinnati Reds and the San Francisco Giants. But the MLB team he played for the most was the Atlanta Braves, and he helped them to the 1992 World Series.
Sanders has an astonishing net worth of $45 million, as estimated by Celebrity Net Worth. So it is safe to say that he has done pretty well for himself. But Coach Prime wanted to do more in baseball than he did.
Deion Sanders' strong message about winning culture
Deion Sanders recently gave his players a strong message about creating a winning culture in the Buffaloes organization. Speaking at the Redcon1 GNC Global Conference last month, he said that a winning culture can only be created if it is about everyone involved with the organization.
"To build a winning culture, it has to be about everyone in there. Because when you win, everyone gets a ring. You don't just win a darn Super Bowl… everyone gets a ring. I want everybody in here to win… You should know what to do. Do your homework and do more than expected,” Coach Prime told the gathering in Las Vegas.
Colorado hasn't won a bowl game since 2004, and Sanders' goal for the season is to end that drought. But the job might have become even more difficult with the program’s switch from the Pac-12 to the Big 12. Will he be able to achieve what has come to be expected in Boulder?
