When SportsHopes meets when Student-Athletes and their parents/guardians one of the things discussed is for them to make good choices, such as studying for an exam or writing a paper instead of hanging out with friends or attending an event. High school and community college years go by fast. When you move forward from these institutions you will not see 99% of those classmates again except for perhaps at a reunion, so don’t let others influence your good choices, look at your bigger future and work hard towards it.
Nowadays when college coaches review and recruit Student-Athletes the academic and athletic factors are important, but equally important are the character and conduct of each Student-Athlete. Did the Student-Athlete make good choices?
When you have a choice to make, make a good decision, be upstanding, take the high road, it is about what you do!
