"Sport teaches you how to work hard even when nobody is watching. It teaches time management when you are balancing practices, games, assignments, and tests all at once. It teaches resilience when things do not go your way. It teaches leadership, communication, accountability, and how to work with people who may think differently than you do ... These skills are not just important in athletics. These are the exact same skills that lead to success later in life."
