Actor Mark Wahlberg recently took some time out of his busy schedule to speak with the Bergen Catholic football team in New Jersey. Wahlberg shared his knowledge and spoke about the importance of hard work and the value of supporting each other. \u201cYou guys are so blessed and so fortunate,\u201d he told the team. \u201cI know it\u2019s tough out there. There\u2019s a lot of temptation right out those doors, but you\u2019re inside these doors with these guys.\u201d He added saying, \u201cBuild each up, help each other out and work hard. You have all the opportunity in the world. You got to decide what you\u2019re going to do with it and what you\u2019re gonna make of it.” He took to his Instagram page to share a clip from his speech, even sharing clips when he initially walked in, surprising the players.<\/p>\n
