The end of season gathering is a staple of MVB culture, regardless of the school symbols...
The evening:
- Provides closure to the season
- Extends the program culture
- Recognizes each player for their contributions
- Celebrates special accomplishments
- Announces leadership transition (captains)
Basketball executive and author Kevin Eastman reminds us, "You own your paycheck." Your work this season is the "down payment" for future success. The implication is that you will make future payments.
You have significance to the community. Young girls relate to you and your accomplishments. Some will want to become what you stand for in the future.
Take a moment to think of the sacrifices of the people in your lives who helped make this possible. And reflect on how much Coach Ryan Schmitt would like to be here but cannot because of his current deployment.
