About Face
Louisville, Kentucky
Rachael McAllister never saw it coming. “She’s dribbling, I’m on her right. I reverse my stick. Her follow-through went straight up into my nose. At first I felt numb, not really sure what just happened. I looked down and blood was flowing into my hand. I took a knee and started bawling.”
McAllister, a junior midfielder at Assumption, had a broken nose. She played that weekend with a protective... More

Practice … We Talkin’ ‘bout Practice’
Louisville, Kentucky
NBA All-Star Allen Iverson may have downplayed the value of practice for himself in his popular interview clip, but make no mistake, how you use your team practice time directly affects your development, playing time and production. Each practice presents a new and unique opportunity to improve (your skills), to prove (your value to the team), and to move (up the team’s ladder of personnel). While there are many things... More

Give Thanks for Your Sports
Louisville, Kentucky
From time to time, all athletes need an attitude adjustment. You hear them after a game complaining, “I just stunk out there, and the coach is never putting me in the game again,” or “All that training was for nothing.” Not meeting performance goals, whether a result of unrealistic expectations, an unforeseen injury or less-than-ideal weather conditions, can test our confidence and enthusiasm for future competitions. However, that wasted emotional... More
