Social Media Responsibility For Students

Mike asks we have high school kids working to get recruited and play college golf any suggestions on social responsibility on social media Mike thanks for the question uh you know very honestly and I don't want to diss you because you're watching my show and I appreciate you and I know you're coming from such a good place so it hurts me to make this statement but that's an old man question and what I mean by that is there is a real lack of understanding um because I've been really paying attention to this and I'm sure anecdotally you can give me a story of a kid who like put up a picture on Facebook of him like throwing up at a party and he lost his scholarship and I respect that but as at every second by the time I'm done with this episode less people will care about those things than they did when I started it remember the conversation four years ago everyone we like don't put up pictures of beer pong on your Facebook because you won't get into college that is ludicrous conversation there's a small 1% of people that um live in this idealistic world where they put people to a standard that is not realistic and they're so out of touch and if you want to go play golf at one of those schools then you have to play in that realm but I would tell you that I would far be more concerned and I believe this is the sentiment and the uh the kind of the movement of Educators uh businesses and even athletic Departments of a kid that his entire social media is so orchestrated and so refined that I'd be worried if can he make that 11ft Putt in a big spot if he's that kind of personality and so I would tell you to worry less about that and worry less about coming on this show and getting the tactics of like make sure you double check before you this or never put a picture of that that's tactics instill religion my friend if you've got these high school kids and they're listening to you teach them and build the foundations of being a good human being that will get them through a lot more stuff and plenty of good human beings have done a stupid thing for 4 seconds and one can say that ruined their lives I disagree oh crap wait subscribe I need subscriptions because I can't push this many right hooks in Social so subscribe
