Steven George’s Post

In a bustling classroom of 100 students, the topic of extracurricular activities ignited passionate discussions. While some advocated for traditional sports like soccer and basketball, others championed niche interests such as chess and robotics. With conflicting opinions and no clear consensus, the school principal proposed a democratic solution: a voting system to determine the activities for the upcoming semester. As students cast their votes, it became apparent that the majority favored mainstream sports. However, a determined minority passionately supported the less conventional options. Despite their smaller numbers, their unwavering enthusiasm and advocacy for diversity resonated with their peers. This scenario underscores a valuable lesson: in educational settings where diverse interests abound, the resolute determination of a committed minority can influence collective decisions. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of inclusivity and empowerment in shaping a well-rounded student experience. Let us heed this silent message and reflect on its implications for our collective decision-making. May we choose wisely, recognizing the transformative power of unity and determination in shaping our shared destiny. ✨⚡✨ #UnityInDiversity #CollectiveDecisionMaking #ResoluteDetermination #VOTE

Let's talk for a moment about the availability of athletic scholarships. Obviously, you have to be a gifted athlete to even be considered for a scholarship, but just how difficult is it to earn one? I put together a chart (posted in the comments below) based on the best data I could find to answer that very question. The answer, of course, is that it's very difficult - and even more difficult than what my chart shows! In this video, I talk through how to read my Athletic Scholarships spreadsheet and why the numbers are even worse than they appear in print. #collegeplanning #scholarships #athleticscholarships

⚽️🏀👩🎓🏈⚾️📉🥎🎾💰🥍🏐💭 The NCAA transfer portal is a complex issue, and it's important to remember that we are talking about 18-24 year olds. Before admonishing a student-athlete for their choices, please keep this in mind. 👩🎓 According to a 2015 report, 37.2% of college students changed schools within six years, with 45% changing institutions more than once. Interestingly, student-athletes transfer less often than their non-athlete peers. 📉 The question arises: why the heightened concern? It could be attributed to the intersection of emotions surrounding financial matters, particularly with the advent of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), or perhaps due to the elevated expectations placed on student-athletes.💰 What are your reflections or personal encounters with this subject? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments or reshare to spark a broader conversation. 💭 #NCAA #studentathletes #transferportal #sportsnews #collegesports
