@KeelingRic71114 @sarahhepola So true!

[CoachGarrett @CoachGarrettT]

@KeelingRic71114 @sarahhepola What did you repair for the 2nd marriage?

@seanfeucht I enjoy watching these - so encouraging for fathers. And if fathers haven’t started, it’s never too late.

@Super70sSports I really missed out on the Whiffle Ball craze. Loved playing it at camp but we never did it with neighborhood kids outside of school. Big miss!!

@Mimix1907 Sorry but solving this means you understand square roots. No one is a numerical genius getting this correct.

[CoachGarrett @CoachGarrettT]

@fitsoccerqueen Yes!! We started with where can my child fit on the T&F team? What geography does she want? What schools have the academics & major she is interested in? Result: 7 D3s & 3 D1s (mid majors). Guess what...Johns Hopkins is one of them!

@EJayArrow Iowa and LSU at the top does not surprise me. They both have soared in this era of new eyeballs.

@D3Direct My daughter is looking both levels for Track & Field. D3 looks to be the perfect fit for her ambition. Because HS T&F teams tend to be large and college rosters small, the collegiate participation % is low. Regardless, those who are willing to compete are in elite company.

@KristenWaggoner @ADFLegal I can’t bring myself to watch this. I am grieved and angered as a fan of women’s athletics. I do not believe that the male athlete was oblivious to his actions.

Thank you for every step you are taking.

@Erin4Parents @ProtectKidsCO I simply want to applaud his thoughtfulness and follow through on the biological reality. I am sure he received blowback from others. BRAVO to Mar!

@sarahsalviander Excellent response to this headline. Some believe questioning of faith is a bad thing. I don't think so. Because of our humanity, questioning faith may occur a little or a lot depending on our circumstances. God is not afraid of it and neither should we.

@UltraDane Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful group! Now following on Spotify.

Rev - what happened was very tragic. I agree with what you say and I think this is true for any mother.

Having said that, my black mother would not have tolerated me:

- Attending a track meet with a 5 inch folding knife
- Violating the space of an opposing team with no invitation to join
- Provoking a reaction from the opposing team by ignoring their requests to leave - in other words being rude and aggressive.

Your mom may have felt the same.

@JackThompsonFOX Nancy Lieberman's perspective is especially valid as she entered women's professional basketball in its infancy in 1980. She witnessed the men's game growing in popularity due to Magic and Bird. Their rivalry from the NCAA championship game followed them into the NBA.

@SportsPatriotUS Facts. Lengthy, instructive and an excellent read.

[CoachGarrett @CoachGarrettT]

@brendancahill_ This is excellent advice! I was unaware of this level of cooperation between the academically branded D3s and schools in the Ivy or Patriot conferences. I now have some additional homework!

[CoachGarrett @CoachGarrettT]

@salltweets @RCR_NZ So true! This is also the case in women’s sport. Growing the desire for more sport for women faced a meandering road in the US since 1900s. The book “The Dust Bowl Girls” by Lydia Reeder reveals many of the challenges from society- in particular women.

[CoachGarrett @CoachGarrettT]

@salltweets Many members of my family are Australian citizens. It grieves my heart greatly to see such insanity and illogical ignorance reign in a Western country.

[CoachGarrett @CoachGarrettT]

@brendancahill_ Yes! The pool of US kids wanting to play post high school combined with full pay international students is a competitive mix that is NOT diminishing. My daughter who is getting mid major D1 to D3 attention, is giving attention to school fit first then athletic program fit.
