IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (11-16-2020)

“Promoting education based athletics in Indiana”

Xander Schauffele is one of the top professional golfers on the PGA tour.  His father has been his only swing coach throughout his golfing career. 

Schauffele’s father stated during last week’s Masters tournament that the fire inside of him (Xander) is the difference maker.  He said, “If a kid has it there is nothing you can do as a dad to stop it, and if he doesn’t have it, there’s nothing you can do as a dad to make it happen.”

You cannot be driven by your parents, family or coaches to find that internal fire. You have to build and fuel the fire for yourself.  You will then separate yourself from your competitors in your work ethic, attitude and discipline. It will become a difference maker for you both on and off the field/court!

IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (11-9-2020)

“Promoting education based athletics in Indiana”

This past weekend, the Indiana Hoosiers football team beat the Michigan Wolverines for the first time since 1987, breaking a 0-24 streak.

The announcers calling the game talked about the cohesiveness of the IU team but couldn’t help but elaborate on their quarterback, Michael Penix.

They stated over and over again how Penix elevates the entire team with his leadership and the example he sets for all his teammates, both in practice and in games.

Elevates the entire team.  Think about that statement and how it might pertain to you and the team you play on.  How can you elevate your team?

Do you show leadership on and off the field/court?  Do you encourage others?  Are you unselfish for the betterment of your team?  Is your attitude positive and contagious?  Every day you can make a difference if you put your mind to it!
