Shilo Sanders said in a livestream that words of affirmation he had tried “don’t really work.” His father, Deion Sanders, promotes the confidence-building approach, which Colorado’s coaching staff has adopted.
During the stream, Shilo played a video of a Colorado coach using affirmations to inspire players before saying he had tried the method himself. Colorado had lost 41-7 to Northwestern the previous week; Deion then spoke about learning from the defeat and examining performance under pressure, according to a Well Off Media vlog.
