IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week: Have you ever been leery or unsure of playing for a new coach? Coaching changes are very common in this day and age, and whether it’s moving on from the freshmen team to junior varsity to varsity, every athlete goes through this experience. How will you adjust? Sometimes you look forward to a change, and other times you will be apprehensive. Regardless, you have to prepare yourself to be ready, especially mentally ready. A quote from a newly appointed football coach in the SEC said it best. “The team is much more willing than I anticipated, much more eager than I expected, more unified than I ever imagined.” Change will be much smoother if you and your teammates are willing, eager, and unified! Can you help lead the way?
