[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As an Athletic Director, you better learn quickly that if you don’t understand your school’s foundation is academics, you will constantly face internal struggles with teachers and other administrators.

At the same time, the best schools also understand that athletics is the front porch of the school. It is often the first thing prospective families see and experience.

When schools intentionally invest in both academics and athletics, everyone benefits. Strong academics build the mission of the school, while strong athletic programs build community, school pride, visibility, and relationships that extend far beyond the playing field.

The schools that truly excel are the ones that stop viewing academics and athletics as competing priorities and instead recognize that they are partners in creating an exceptional student experience.

Great schools don’t choose one over the other. They commit to both.

The level of excitement I feel for this team is nearly indescribable! Yr. 1 we won 3 games. Yr. 3….we are playing for the LOWER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! This was one sport that was key for me when I accepted this position. I am so so proud of them.

[Lib Smith-@Phenom SC Reg Director/National Scout @LibSmithPhenom1]

High School student-athletes AND their parents need to keep in mind just how short the HS journey actually is.

If you’re lucky enough to play as a freshmen you will only get approx:

80-100 🏀 games
40-55 🏈 games

It’s over in the blink of an eye so don’t spend every waking moment hyper focused on the next level and enjoy the ride a little bit!

[Lib Smith-@Phenom SC Reg Director/National Scout @LibSmithPhenom1]

Exactly! Congratulations

[William Payne @TweetsbyCoachP]

I was abused as a child.

I was exposed to heavy drug use.

I attended 5 different high schools.

I was a father at 17. And again at 19.

I thought the “streets” were the way.

Today, I’m opening a charter school.

Don’t let your past define you! YOU write the next chapter!

[Lib Smith-@Phenom SC Reg Director/National Scout @LibSmithPhenom1]

@TweetsbyCoachP Good morning
