Loss of State Tournaments and Major Spring Events Affects Communities Nationwide
|
Outside of a few southern states that employ an earlier cycle, “the spring season that never was” is the unfortunate reality facing high school student-athletes across America. Hopes of another chance to set a school record, hoist a state championship trophy or even make bus-trip memories with the closest of friends – all dashed by the Coronavirus pandemic. The loss, however, goes much deeper than the student-athletes. Parents lost an opportunity to witness their children grow in the environment only athletics can provide; communities – particularly those with just one high school – go without one of their most sacred and fundamental sources of pride. |

Staying Connected with Your Teams During the Pandemic
|
During this shutdown of schools, maintaining contact has been the key. The reality is that the varsity team has been playing for 13 years with minimal time between sports, and, all of a sudden, the adrenaline is taken away. It is so important for coaches to stay connected with their athletes from a mental perspective. |
