You have to know who to listen to when tips is it or if it is better to follow your instinct, because you are not going to take the “destructive” words like those that the legendary baseball player, Alex Rodriguezhe told a very young man Patrick mahomes when he was still in elementary school.
‘You will starve in the NFL’; that’s what A-Rod said to Mahomes
This story dates back to 2001, when Alex Rodriguez He came to the Texas Rangers of the Major Leagues and there he met Pat Mahomes Sr., the father of today’s quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs and who from a very young age showed great aptitude for three sports: baseball, basketball and American football.

“I once said to him: ‘Listen to me, maybe you have never heard what I have said, but this you should understand. There will be no money, no future, no history for you in football. You must be a baseball player, “was what A-Rod told Mahomes, as he confessed in an interview.
“We recently saw each other and it reminded me of those words. I appreciate that you never listened to me“added with a laugh the former Mariners, Rangers and Yankees player, who was tested for steroid use in MLB.
