Deion has often reiterated that the purpose behind coaching college kids is to help them become responsible and respectable men. He aims to inculcate values in the players aiding them to be assets for society. In order to bring his words to action, he doesn’t shy away from following a military-style regimen. An example of this was presented to the world a few months ago.
Deion Sanders’ Spartan Approach: Attention to Every Detail
Sanders made it his life’s mission to run the team on a tight leash while transitioning into the Colorado Buffaloes. Known for diligence, back in March 2023, Deion took his coaching regimen to a whole new level as a player was kicked out of the gym by him as his socks did not meet Coach Prime’s standards. It seems like even the sock game has to be on point if one even dreams of landing on the roster under Deion Sanders.

Prime Time entered the campus on his first day carrying a list of instructions declaring the standard code of conduct. Not only this, he made sure to describe even the minutest details for the team highlighting his spartan approach.
“School, we got school today, right? So, I want you to listen to me clearly and succinctly. No slides (sandals). No slides. No armpits exposed. No wifebeaters (tank-top shirts). Sit in the front of the classroom and be the perfect gentleman because when it comes down to it, and you need help, that professor is going to recall your character and who you’ve been consistently in that class.”

Fitness, Dedication, and Excellence: Coach Prime’s Formula
Coach Prime is aging like fine wine, not only with his skills but also with his fitness journey. His demanding coaching style points at good lifestyle and wellness standards following the mantra ‘practice what you preach’. Six years ago, he generously shared some insights into his own impressive fitness regime which was nothing short of inspiring via Muscle and Fitness Plus.
“When I train, if I say, ‘I don’t like the way I look in that shirt,’ well, dammit, I’m gonna do something about it—eat right, work out, cardio, abs work. I’m going to do what I need to do to get to where I want to be,” Deion had stated.
“I expect to be great. I expect to do what hasn’t been done. I expect to provoke change.”
