Student-athlete Tip of the Week - 9-22-14

The NFL season is off to a rocky start because of the domestic violence cases hovering over the league. This is putting pressure on team owners to make sure that the players they employ are law abiding citizens who respect the laws and morals of this great country.

The dynamics of all athletics are changing right before our eyes. All of a sudden character counts. The sad thing is, character should always count.

How can you have a positive effect as a student-athlete at your school, on your team, and in your community? Quite simply, always do the right thing. Sometimes athletes at all levels give the impression that rules don't apply to them. Don't fall into that trap! Remember, character counts!
