Description
The start of a new fall semester brings with it the excitement of college sports; and I’ll be honest with you, I love college sports. I admire the grit, determination, and discipline that college athletes pour into their sport. I respect all of our young men and women who balance the rigors of their academic studies with the heat and sweat of grueling practice regimens. I am grateful to the coaches who forge teams out of raw individual talent, and who mold leaders for life. As Gardner-Webb’s fall sports get into full swing, I want to reflect a bit on what successful athletic programs can do for studentathletes, for their university, and for a college town like ours.
