Navy SEALs have a saying.
You may find it helpful.
When something sucks, they look at each other and say:
"FULL BENEFIT"
It’s an instant mindset shift.
• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?
FULL BENEFIT.
***
LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity
The message is simple.
Every adversity is an opportunity.
• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better
These moments forge us if we let them.
The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.
Work through the process.
Learn the lessons.
Reap the full benefit.

We are devastated by the loss of Mark Mincer. Whether he was on the sidelines coaching, keeping the greatest stats, cheering on his 3 daughters or simply uplifting the team. He left an indelible mark on our program and the entire Mustang community & we are eternally thankful💛🖤
The passing of Mark Mincer is a loss for the entire Charlottesville community and in particular the local high school sports world. He was a dedicated coach and booster of high school athletics throughout Central Virginia and the best girls lacrosse statistician we’ve ever seen.

Recruits! Stop dismissing these small schools because you've never heard of them. The question you should be asking is if they've heard of you. Congratulations St. Peters. We all know who you are now!
