IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (5/26/25) "Promoting Education Based Athletics in Indiana" Summertime is here, meaning most student-athletes have some time to themselves with very few sports in-season. Most coaches will agree that the summertime is the most important time for an athlete, with ample time to work on the fundamentals of your sport that will make you better for next season. It is a choice and a commitment on your part to put in the time and practice to improve your strength, agility, jumping, speed or skill that you need to perfect. If you are not working hard to improve, there is a strong possibility that someone you are competing against-either on your team or on a competitor's team--will come back next season better and more prepared than you will be. Make this summer count! All content property of Billy Shepherd Sports (askbillyshep@aol.com)
