IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week: College basketball is getting close to tournament time, and one of the best mid-majors in the country, Illinois State, has relied on good defense while standing atop the Missouri Valley Conference, according to their coach Dan Muller. Defense is important in all team sports. It’s often been said that defense wins championships. Muller has been quoted as saying, “The key has been on defense. We aren’t afraid to call each other out if one of us gets beat.” Defensive accountability is an important part of team success. When a teammate fails to do their part, there’s a right way to point out a weakness or slip up. If you must call out a teammate, do so in a positive way. It’s how you deliver the message that will either inspire your teammate or have a negative effect on the entire team!
The Goshen Band Boosters are hosting a shoe drive from February 10th through April 9th and would love your help! They’re collecting gently used or new shoes which are then taken to other countries such as Haiti and given to micro-entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs refurbish the shoes into usable ones or other items of use and sell them to earn an income to help themselves and their families. Take a look in your closets or wherever you may keep your shoes and see if you have a pair or two that you would be willing to donate. You can even donate flip flops. Bins will be placed around the school (as well as the Goshen area) that have a poster on them with the dos and don’ts of what is an acceptable shoe. If you would like more information, or have any questions please feel free to contact Kristy Nissley at nissley1998@gmail.com. Thank you for your help!
