Student-athlete Tip of the Week - 12-1-14

Just a couple of weeks ago a running back for the New England Patriots, Jonas Gray, got his first start on Monday night football and rushed for over 200 yards against the Indianapolis Colts.

However, on the following Friday, Jonas was late for a team meeting. Guess what? Coach Bill Belichick benched him and he never touched the ball during their next game against the Detroit Lions.

No athlete at any level is bigger than the game itself.  That's why it is essential that you follow the lead of your coach and don't jeopardize your playing time by breaking any rules or expectations. Remember, the game will go on with or without you!
