Most kids who use (steroids), tend not to be real athletes. They are body-building types. That's why you can still find it in the local gyms.

Kids have to understand that steroids will not make you a Division I player. If an average high school player starts taking steroids, he's not suddenly going to become a D-I player. These kids are also paying way more than they should for these supplements. Food is the best supplement they can get. Nutrition is the key. Kids don't need that stuff. At their age, they have so much going on with their bodies naturally. They don't need supplements.

To be honest, drugs and alcohol are bigger concerns right now than steroids. Those are huge problems with kids right now. So if you test for steroids, you have to test for all drugs. And if you test kids, then you also have to test coaches and teachers. You have to hold that standard across the board with everybody.

It's obvious when a kid comes out of nowhere. I had one kid like that and I just referred him to his counselor. It turned out the kid had a lot of substance abuse issues. But you can tell.

He?s a very graceful athlete. Not too many athletes can get their body to flow and bend in that manner. It was a big-time athletic movement.

These kids are athletes. ... These kids want to win. They are not going to just lay down and let teams walk all over them and give up. We're going to play through seven.
