Don’t let the end define the journey

We have all been riding a roller coaster of emotions over the past couple of weeks but when the news of the spring sports season shutdown, I had to turn off some of those emotions and get to work. After going through calls with frustrated and sympathetic coaches, I reached out to a handful of seniors for their reaction and I’m not sure I have had many tougher interviews in my short career.

You could tell when the person on the other side of the phone was holding back tears and you could tell when the bad news truly had not had the chance to sink in yet. But no matter the emotion on the other end of those phone calls, I was amazed by the knowledge and courage those players showed in just the few words they were willing to give me.
