Not talking the primary role model of course for many of these athletes. Responsible  parents, if one is lucky enough to have two or in other cases where there is one who is highly responsible is always ideal. In my case I had one parent, my mother. My male coaches were very important in shaping me. I was very lucky to have a great coach who made life lessons more important than athletic lessons. He was also a great a great character builder. A person who followed up with his players through the years. We never wanted to let him down. In the case of athletes that are going to be at an institution for 5 years their coach is going to have a lot to do with shaping them as men. Just look at the back stories of so many of our football players. Shamarko Thomas, Jay Bromley, Terrel Hunt, John Raymon and so many others. Their support system at SU is going to be a tremendous part of their lives and impact who they become more so than a kid from a "normal family."
