IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week – 12-11-17

by | Dec 12, 2017 | RRSN News | 0 comments

“Promoting education based athletics in Indiana”

Popular television star Chip Gaines from the show Fixer Upper was quoted in People Magazine as saying, “I’d rather be missed than the idea of someone tiring of me.” This has been his philosophy in life.

This quote might be a good way for a student-athlete to have a teacher or coach view his/her time spent in the classroom and on the court or field of play.

In other words, you want to make the type of impact on your classmates and teammates that leaves a long and lasting positive impression – not one where people tire of you and want you to go away.

Think about your actions on and off the field. Make the right choices and leave your school with a legacy you will be proud of.
