I really believe that no matter what our kids go through and no matter what we see, even what I've seen our athletes go through, that if they are alive, there is hope. I've seen some really ugly cases where it honestly looks like it's hopeless, like it looks like it's just a matter of time before this kid ends up dead. I've seen these same exact kids do a 180 and totally transform their life.
