Coaches, if you aren’t there to love, empower, & pour into your student-athletes, please do yourself & your athletes a favor & find a new profession!! They deserve better!

I think the worst thing about being a retired athlete is continuing to see how poorly athletes are getting treated by their coach(s).

Some coaches need to take a step back.
