I learned today that over 50 % of all NFL players became bankrupt after retiring from the League. I also heard Lawrence Taylor felt that his life worked better during his playing days.He knew what to do and when to do when he was on the field. Or, Other people told him what to do and he followed instructions.
He found that this structure just wasn't there once he left the game and he has struggled unsuccessfully to recreate another workable structure that he was willing to place himself within. This seems to be the struggle that alcoholics, drug addicts, those suffering with severe emotionally and mental difficulties , the very wealthy and children seem to struggle to deal with well.
This situation also plagues people who are hired into positions where they are expected to be self-motivated and a self -starter.
This is a basic thing that most of us do naturally and fairly easily for ourselves - but it can be a difficult skill to help others grow comfortable in and do well.
Has anyone had any experience professionally with helping fumbling- in- life- individuals obtain and learn to do well in becoming successfully structured in the way they go about their daily lives? What do you think is the core problem for those people who do not get how to do this effectively? What can be done to help them see the benefit of living this way?
