A multi-sport athlete in high school that made a career in the MLB, but didn’t specialize in one sport to achieve it. Play it all in high school. Create a lifetime of good memories.
With all due respect, winning a HS state championship holds less and less weight every year to me.
Not because winning is easy, because it’s not.
I understand people are only doing what they’re allowed to do, I get it. But because roster movement, transfers, recruiting culture, and talent stacking have completely changed what high school football looks like.
Beyond grateful I grew up in what felt like the golden age of HS football. It created morals and values in me that I still carry today.
I talked a dad who told me he spent $10k a year on travel baseball between tourneys, travel, and gear for his son. He got a partial scholarship to D-2 school. If he had put the $10k in a mutual fund each year, he would have had about $190,000. The scholarship was $5k a year.
CCISD Challenger Cup Champs! A product of players, coaches, teachers, administrators, and parents working hard to make sure our student-athletes are successful in the classroom and athletics. Multi-sport participation is a big part of our success. We share athletes. Go Wildcats!
Parents its camp SZN & a lot of camp organizers will say media will attend, to try to get more folks signed up for a camp.
As a rule of thumb our team at DCTF does not attend camps where HS prospects are charged a fee to participate...we attend true invite only events #txhsfb
Joe Montana wasn’t supposed to make it.
In 1975, he was last on the depth chart at Notre Dame - even behind two walk-ons.
• 7th string as a freshman.
• Struggled to see the field.
• Missed 1976 with a separated shoulder.
• Started 1977 as 3rd string.
• Led 3 legendary comeback wins in 1977.
• Finished with a national championship in 1977.
Montana said, “So much credence was put on how you practice. And how you practice is how you play.”
He studied relentlessly, learned every protection, and stayed ready for his moment.
When it came - he delivered.
“Don’t complain about not getting a chance and then be unprepared when you finally do.” – Joe Montana
