IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (5-23-22)

"Promoting Education Based Athletics in Indiana"

When you make a commitment or promise to do something, is it your goal to follow through with the result?  

NBA star Steph Curry is one of the league's all-time greats.  He is known as the greatest 3-point shooter in the history of the game.

However, his mom will remember him for something else, which is much more meaningful to her.  When Curry turned pro after his junior year in college, he promised his mom he would return to Davidson and earn his degree.

Well, Curry did just that.  It didn't happen until 13 years later, but Curry said it was his promise to his mom that inspired him to complete his college education.  

While Curry has had so many success stories, this might be his biggest accomplishment.  It's all because of a promise he kept to his mother!

IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (5-16-22)

“Promoting Education Based Athletics in Indiana”

Making excuses for whatever reason is one of my pet peeves. Are you someone who always comes up with an excuse when you do something wrong, are late for class, didn’t do your homework, or have a bad game or event?

Whether you are a freshman or senior, make it a priority to stop it, never another excuse, even if it’s valid.

Excuse making happens often when you are younger, it’s part of the growing up stage. It’s easy to say when you are in grade school that your parents didn’t remind you, you ran out of time, you forgot. Whatever the reason, you had the answers.

Part of growing up and being a responsible person falls on you. In fact, by the time you are in high school the “good excuse reason” should no longer be in your vocabulary.   Keep it in your rear view mirror and vow to never making excuses again!!
