JASON JORDAN’S WHAT I’M THINKING TODAY …
I see so many elite high school athletes participating in those Q&A’s on social media where they take random questions from fans and post the answers.
High school athletes had better be careful with that one.
A few college coaches have made comments to me about some of the players’ responses; not good comments either.
You may not be able to control what fans ask, but you can certainly control your responses.
Best option?
Don’t participate.
WHAT I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF RIGHT NOW …
“They need to change that touchback rule. It’s a silly rule.” – Lake Highland Prep (Orlando, Fla.) point guard Joel Berry
