Public Service Announcement
If your son was dismissed from his high school team for missing the teams spring break tournament, to go on vacation (beach trip, etc.).
Or
Your son isn't getting playing time because he missed the spring break tournament for vacation.
Do this.
Call the school's athletic director or principal and request a meeting.
Tell them it's important.
At the meeting, tell them how much you appreciate the coach caring enough about your son to teach him about life, and how much you appreciate him holding your son accountable.
Then thank them for hiring a coach that cared about commitment, sacrifice and teaching the kids that being a great teammate comes with responsibilities.
Then suggest they give the coach a raise, shake their hands and reiterate how much you appreciate them.

KRIS DUNN: "The league is filled with so much talent... sometimes your trajectory goes a little different. You gotta play a role. I found my niche in the game; being a defensive player, but more importantly being a connector.
"There's three things that get you to be in the league: 1) be good, 2) be a great teammate, and 3) be available."
16p, 7r, 7a, 2s for the Clippers' connector!
Here's Anthony Edwards when asked about staying after practice to plays 1 on 1 with Joan Beringer.
"I been ducking and dodging him for weeks, but I had to pay him his rent money yesterday... Joan is a worker, man. I haven't seen too many rookies like him... He always is willing to work. And I think all rookies should be willing to work before they want to just get in the game and showcase they talent. They gotta put in the work first. And he's a big product of that. He loves to work."
POTS is a difficult condition for athletes to deal with at all levels of sport. Essentially, your autonomic nervous system is not functioning properly leading to an elevated heart rate when you stand up. Symptoms on top of the fast heart rate can include dizziness, severe fatigue, and nausea.
@ShamsCharania POTS and being a pro athlete usually don't mix anyone that talks shit about him missing games do your research how hard it is to live with that condition
LeBron James:
“Being an all-time leading scorer was never a goal. Never. I never had a goal of that. I wanted to lead the league in assists, multiple All-Stars and winning MVP and things like that. Starting a streak since ’07, no one says that. Beginning in 2007, I wasn’t like, ‘I’m about to start this double-digit streak.’ I just go out and play, and the game has given back to me, and it happened. And if it had to end, that’s the perfect way for me: making the right play.”

@Big12Pokes That would be a perfect world absolutely! But even without them I would still want the guys I put my time into. Obviously we think he recruits well let’s let him do what he does!
6'7" first-round NHL draft pick Mason West is also the QB and captain for his high school football team.

Dirk: "You guys had a tough loss obviously in OKC. How did you guys recover, what did you guys talk about?"
