We have the opportunity today to meet a man who has made the education of our young people his life’s work and who joined the Blue Bullets this year as Athletic Director, Mr. Brad Weedman. As the old-timey television infomercial used to say, ‘WAIT, there’s MORE!’ And indeed, there is. We have the pleasure of sitting down with four student-athletes who, through hard work, determination, and friendship, are meeting with and defining success as they create wonderful pathways toward the worlds which lie ahead for them. So, in addition to Mr. Weedman, we’ll welcome Loren King, Alissa Higgins, Sydney Smith, and Regan Brown to our podcast today. The quintet and I discuss the symbiotic nature of student-athletes and the support systems we’ve put into place for them. It means so much, of course, to the students, coaches, and the AD, who are all, themselves, directly involved, but as several of the girls will share, it spills over into the community, and gives us all an opportunity to share in the hoisting of the collective banner of victory. And that’s a pretty special privilege.
