The wake up call came a few years later in the form of a mentor who challenged his short sighted thinking and introduced Darius to the benefits of achieving emotional and financial wealth. However, graduating was not the launching pad for Darius’ success.
Thankfully, none of these derailed his one must-do mission-graduating from college. He readily shares how poor decisions, immaturity and thinking charm and empty words would be the salve for every rough spot he encountered were the culprit. So at 25, Darius questioned why his life was plunging in the opposite direction? And similar to most parents, they imagined a level of success for those children that superseded their own. The Wise’s planned, saved and prepared for their college educations.
His hard-working parents provided a comfortable existence for their two children. He simply made assumptions about what his life would be based on his upbringing. He encourages everyone that he is in contact with to dream, explore and embrace their journey while simultaneously understanding the correlation between thoughts and actions.ĭuring his twenties, Darius admits that he didn’t fully understand that correlation. Humbled by the experience, he realized the importance of reaching out and redirecting adults as well as today’s youth-and not only those identified as at-risk-to divert them away from pathways that lead to despair. With positive intervention and introspection, less than a decade later, his life underwent a 180-degree turn. Raised in a two-parent, upper middle class home that was rooted in fundamental moral values anchored by religious belief, he never imagined his life would be mired by situations like these. We firmly believe that team sports help mold successful people.By the age of 25, Darius Wise had been arrested twice, was drowning in debt, and fathered a son while in a relationship with no future. In closing, please understand that we are all in this together, the Titan organization, parents, coaches, players, and in essence, we are all volunteering to ensure these young men have a positive experience with team sports.
