If there is anything I could encourage young professionals in college athletics/higher education at this point, it would be to 1) know who you are; 2) stand for something bigger than yourself; 3) read, read, read; 4) build relationships in the industry; and 5) work your tail off
My family and I are fired up for this opportunity and honored to join the Mean Green.
Thankful for
@mosleyj22

Have always loved this definition of true mental toughness from
@JoshuaMedcalf
“True mental toughness is having a great attitude, giving your very very best, treating people really really well, having unconditional gratitude, regardless of your circumstances.”
"A craftsman is an artist who builds a work of art. While most people approach their work with the mindset that they just want to get it done, a craftsman is more concerned with who they are becoming and what they are creating rather than how fast they finish it."
@JonGordon11
Hasn’t quite sunk in yet and taking it all day-by-day, but remain grateful and thankful for our DBU Family during this time. Our student-athletes, faculty, and staff are the best and we will all get through this mess together.
