Tyreek Hill and The Code

Tyreek Hill is a good person; we could tell that by hearing him speak.  Something unexpected happened to him when the police pulled him over.  How did he react?  He said that he wished he had left the window rolled down as requested by the police, but most people agreed that the police over-reacted when he did not.  What does the Code say about this?  As athletes we practice and develop our skills day after day preparing for a game, trying to be better little by little.  Part of our preparation must include the mental aspect – how will we react when we do something wrong, when a bad call is made, when an opponent loses their cool? – because these things will all happen to us.  Our practices need to include our intentionally practicing how we will respond when adversity of any kind occurs.  It’s easy to over-react; it takes discipline to meet with “triumph and disaster” and “treat those two imposters just the same.”  How can you do better?
