The point of HS sports isn’t getting a college scholarship. It’s learning cooperation, respect, loyalty, communication, being a good person & working with others in good times & bad. If a scholarship comes from that, great. But either way, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Fun clip of Philip Rivers talking to the North Carolina State football team. Good reminder of the importance and privilege of playing for one another. By the end of the clip, he has motivated himself and fired himself up, as well.
