My challenge to parents of athletes — cheer for someone besides your own child. Cheer for the team. Acknowledge the great play of an individual, who doesn’t share the same last name as you.

The rise in vaping among middle school and high school students should concern you. For athletes, the addictive qualities and the physical toll it takes on your endurance is scary. Your future in the sport is likely to be affected if you are vaping.

High school athletes: You DO NOT need to specialize! If a club coach tells you to give up basketball for volleyball, find another club coach. If any coach tells you to give up another sport -- don't do it!

I hope every kid in the Metro watches these games and comes to the realization that he/she can still chase their dream without specializing in one sport. Anyone/coach that tells you different is selling fool's gold. Be an athlete and play sports!

Like I tell my students, there's more than just your four years in high school. There's a whole tradition that came before you -- be aware of it. Think of the legacy you're leaving. Think of what comes after you. Then take a step back and look at the whole view.
