WE SAY: “Kids should play multiple sports” REALITY: We’re asking families/kids to committ to an insane amount of $, practices, games, tournaments, skill development & travel for EACH sport. We’re making it virtually impossible for (young) kids to play multiple sports. 😞

Dear Udoka, excited about you returning to KU, but if you want to get that FG% up a bit, might I suggest a transfer to Washburn (see exhibit A below). However if you don’t transfer I would suggest sitting out our exh game on Nov 1st & just kind of easing into the season!

Bittersweet day. Kaden has been coming to my camps since he was 4 yrs old. Going into the 8th grade now so this is probably the last camp I get to have him at camp. One of the best things about being a coach is having your kid in the gym with you & I Loved every second of it!
