I am so proud that when I decided to build the Homer Hawks and then Homer Gold ... that we stayed true to our focus on the student athlete! 2 years ago our team GPA average was 3.9 ... and we continue to blend top students with athletic skills. So many great student athletes have played for me over the years .. the list goes on and on and on ... ALL attending the collegiate schools of their choice for all the right reasons!
Building the program allowed me to be a small part in each of these terrific young ladies maturation into collegiate student athletes. I want to thank all the families, coaches and others who have helped me since 1999 live this dream.
2012 PROMISES TO BE MORE OF THE SAME
Consistent play on the fields ... great students ... all players moving along to the colleges of their choice after high school!
I hope for those of you with more years left in this great game, you take the time to smell the roses and enjoy the time. For those of you already in college or matriculating soon ... don't forget to thank your parents and families for their time, energy and sacrifice to allow you to commit to your dreams. Remember, college is a 40 year commitment, not 4 years, choose the school that offers you the best future! My oldest 2 chose wisely, and now have wonderful careers ahead of them. My youngest two are still in high school and will soon make those decisions as well for their futures.
I was talking to Jeff yesterday, and after his heart surgery, he is thinking he has a new lease on life ... and it's true. But our children have their first lease on life right now, please continue to help them build the base to live a life of opportunity, success, fruition, honor and love. Let these early years build the foundation of great men and women, leaders, innovators and the future of our world.
