From time to time, student-athletes do feel a sense of entitlement regarding their position in the education system. Taylor asserts that the candidates for his ‘Be The Change’ scholarship will be strongly chosen on the basis of character.
“We don’t want to have student-athletes have that persona that, ‘You’re an athlete, so you should get just get things handed to you. We want to let kids know that, ‘Hey, no matter what position you’re in, you have to work for it, day in and day out.

“I think one of the biggest things we look for is character, and we’ll have a really high emphasis on this. It’ll be heavily looked at, just because you want high-character kids to know that it goes a long way,” Taylor concluded.
