Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (12-14-20)

“Promoting Education Based Athletics in Indiana”

Over the years I have spoken with many athletes who wished they had approached their high school athletic careers differently.  Some were defiant with coaches, some wished they had given more effort and paid more attention to what their coaches wanted, and others admitted their attitude was terrible.

Could any of these descriptions apply to you?  If so, it is not too late to turn things around and make the necessary adjustments.

You will never regret being the best teammate you can be, respecting your coaches on and off the court/field and keeping a positive attitude when times get tough. 

Your days as a high school athlete are limited but your memories will last a lifetime.  Play and act so you will have no regrets when you look back on your athletic experiences later in your life!

IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (12-7-2020)

“Promoting Education Based Athletics in Indiana”

After a recent game, NFL quarterback Cam Newton was asked about his individual statistics and lack of production, following his team’s win.  Cam responded by saying he would never apologize for winning and stated he does not play the game for any type of individual accolades.  He said he plays the game to win.

Hopefully you have the same type of mindset when you are playing for your high school team.  Are you putting winning ahead of your own individual performance and statistics? Do you encourage your teammates?

As Cam Newton stated, you play on a team to win.  You may have games with a great individual performance and others where your teammates are the key to victory.  When your mindset is on the team, you will find yourself pulling more for your teammates and less focused on your own individual statistics!
