@tmo81107 Neither of those players had a father who was taking interviews publicly stating there were certain teams he wouldn’t let his son play for. I say all this as someone who has been a fan of what the Sanders’ have been able to accomplish at Colorado. You’ve missed the point.
Beyond the headlines of Shedeur Sanders going undrafted is a reminder every sports parent needs to hear: talent alone isn't always enough. Coaches watch everything—on & off the field/court. Body language, humility, attitude, work ethic, & yes, how families carry themselves too.
Entitlement is at an all time high in team sports today & people wonder why so many people are getting out of coaching/sports writing 🤦🏻♀️
Everybody doesn’t get a trophy for just showing up. Go to work & earn it every day.
Congrats to my friend @HaleyHackett on winning her 100th game as a head coach with @NWGuilfordWBB !
She coaches hard, loves her kids harder and shows that mama’s can do it all! Congrats Haley! Proud of you!❤️
@HayleaHuffines_ and the students at @NWGHS are working together to show appreciation and support for all of our wonderful student-athletes 👏🏻👏🏻 https://t.co/d98Gv9bA7m
So proud of these seniors! Haylea (🥎) and Sophia (🥍) have excelled in both basketball and their primary sport throughout their time at Northwest and have definitely left their mark. I am excited to see what the future holds for both of our Lady🏀Vikings
Feature: @nwghsoftball made its deepest run in recent memory…along the way, it brought a community together even after the final out…

There’s kids who work hard and then there’s @maslynmosbacher —I am beyond proud of what she has overcome and I am so excited to watch her finish out her career on a high note! 💪🏼♥️ #LFG
Maslyn Mosbacher was told that after tearing her ACL this summer that a return for her senior season would be like hitting a home run. On Friday, the 2023 first team HSXTRA selection made a successful return for @NWGuilfordWBB

@DelaneyRudd4 You show me a 5th grade Coach worries about national exposure and I’ll show you a team of kids lacking proper footwork and basic fundamentals. Funny how those seem to go hand in hand lol.
Summer AAU/Club sports are great but there is something special about student-athletes competing against rival schools, in front of a crowd of community members, friends, and family, after attending classes all day, while playing alongside teammates who are also their classmates.
If you have a coach, teacher, parent or mentor who holds you accountable you are blessed.
Too many leaders shy away from confrontation and accept low standards with minimal expectations.
If someone pushes you for greatness you have someone who truly cares about you & loves you.
