An incredible honor to be selected for. Looking forward to going into the Hall of Fame with one of my HS best friends and the best man in my wedding, Bobby Herron.

@JJWatt@DropOutHouston@AdamSchefter@FieldYates This response hasn’t been reshared, highlighted, or pinned enough. If athletes today don’t become better than what the athletes were in the past, how does the game grow and get better? What a response @JJWatt.
I would be extremely happy for him and grateful I got to witness it.
It would be very naive and narcissistic of me to think that nobody should or could ever be better. The sport is constantly evolving and athletes continue to reset the limits of what we believe to be possible. It would be thoroughly disappointing if new heights were never achieved.
I love the game, I love the pursuit of greatness and I hope to witness many more incredible examples of it in my lifetime.

Karly Weathers on the impact she wants to make for @AlabamaWBB 👏
As an athlete, it's helpful to put yourself in your coach's shoes. If you're not performing in practice like one of the best players on the team, why would they trust you to do it in a game setting?
I was at a game recently and kept noticing a kid at the very end of the bench. He never checked in. Never took a shot. Never had his name called. But that didn’t stop him from making a difference.
He was on his feet for every big moment. Clapping. Calling out encouragement. Living and dying with every shot like it was his own. You could feel his energy even though he never stepped onto the court.
You could tell he knew the reality. He wasn’t going to play that night, and it didn’t seem to bother him at all. Because he wasn’t there for minutes. He was there for the team.
His presence mattered. His energy mattered. His attitude mattered.
It reminded me of something we often get backwards. We think our position determines our attitude. We believe that once the role changes, then we’ll bring the effort, the buy-in, and the joy.
But it’s never your position that determines your attitude. It’s your character.
Character shows up whether the spotlight finds you or not. Character encourages when there’s nothing to gain. Character understands that being part of the team is bigger than being seen.
And here’s the truth. Teams, families, organizations, and churches don’t fall apart because of a lack of talent. They fall apart when people stop showing up with the right heart when they aren’t the one being featured.
That kid didn’t change the scoreboard. But he changed the environment. And that kind of impact always matters more than people realize.
