The NFL demands so many things off its players. It has a rough travel schedule which keeps its stars away from their families a lot. This leads to many broken bonds and tough relationships. L'Jarius Sneed knows that all of this could happen to his family. However, the Tennessee Titans defensive menace is actually the one making efforts to transform the people he loves so much.
L'Jarius Sneed did not have the easiest childhood. Both of his parents ended up in jail while his siblings also struggled alongside him. It was very easy for him to stay motivated on his goal to make it to the NFL. After all, it is the most viable path that he could take such that his family would no longer be in such tough times.
Eventually, everything worked out for Sneed. He landed with the Kansas City Chiefs and won a Super Bowl with them. Then, his career path took him to the Titans. He does not want all those troubles in the past to haunt him anymore. So, the cornerback had one big effort to make sure his family does not sink back: "I want things different. I even sat down with my family, and I have meetings with my family, on how I want to be better at this. 'I want this, I want that. I don't want things done this way.' It is cycle breaking. I want to break the cycle for my family, for generation curses. And I thank God for letting me be that person to change their lives."
