The life of a student-athlete can sometimes be tougher in the classroom than it is on the court. Being on the court comes with advantages, sure, but student-athletics live a life much different than the rest of their fellow students.
Have you ever been offered to attend an event for free? I was able to for the first time and it was an experience I’ll never forget. It all started with a Twitter post made by The Winning Edge Leadership (if you are not following them, you need to @TheWELeadership).
As I sit here writing my very first blog post, I can’t help but smile. One, because writing for fun was never anything I would ever consider doing before and two, because I am finally able to sit down and reflect on a day that I can honestly say changed my life.
Having the opportunity to attend an amazing event such as the Pro Scouting School this summer was an experience. Reflecting back on the few months prior to me boarding my flight back to Charlotte from the Pro Scouting School, I told myself I was not going to this event.
