Charlie Kirk was a steadfast friend of Israel and a true ally of the Jewish people.
He stood proudly for the Judeo-Christian values that bind Israel and America.
Charlie’s fearless commitment to truth and freedom cost him his life.
Violence may have taken him, but it cannot silence his legacy.
May his memory be a blessing.
Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.

Since the summer started and the 1-year anniversary of NIL acceptance came and went, there has been an excess of learnings to take away....
#nil#studentathletes
Up until this year, majority of student-athletes didn't have a way to make money unless they were working a job while in school and playing their sport. The real world is tough, how are we using NIL to address that today?
And only 2% of collegiate athletes go on to be professional athletes. No matter if you're the 2% or 98% YOU MATTER; whether you become an entrepreneur, a coach, an employee, an app developer, or a social media manager your impact is necessary!
So sick of the “D1 or Bust” mentality. And for what? So your parents can brag to friends?
So few even GET the opportunity to play in college.
IF you get the chance to play at the next level...GO where you can get the best college experience & degree. THAT'S what matters.
My high school coaches told me I'd never be a college athlete, my college coach believed I could be....7 years later and I was and could not be more grateful for the experience!
