Travis Osborne is a brave man 👨 and the crowd asks, how brave is he ? So brave that he interacts with me 365 days a year…..
The pics 📸 above are from the Junior Varsity match, and they came from the Osborne family. Thank you, Brother.
The cake 🎂 and card above was part of an incredibly special moment last night, that included a well performed 🎭 song by our Junior Varsity team. My birthday 🎂 is Thursday, and when asked last week what my big plans are, I responded with announcing some volleyball games.
Random acts 🎬 of kindness are always AWESOME
Our Lady Cavaliers in waiting played a highly competitive match last night against Pulaski County Junior Varsity. While they fell 2-0, they were in both sets and led the second one 13-5 before a strong run by the Lady Cougars.
After the match, I took a minute to share with the group the first of many thoughts about POSITIVE cheer options for the Varsity team.
On a play that ends with Ali Wright recording a kill, I would say, ALI folks would loudly add Ooop !
If Heidi Painter 🎨 finished a kill, that kill was painted by Heidi…
Faith Nicholson – you sing the line, you gotta have Faith….. just getting started…
Any big play, by any player :
Look what she did, Look what she did !!
Our athletic director, Kevin DeHaven, needs money 💰 and you know what is the best kind of cash 💸? Other people’s 💸.
The goal for us every night should be to make our guests feel as welcome as humanly possible. We want folks to drive to The Hill, plop down money at the ticket 🎟 table, and the concession stand. Then, after the match, maybe hit one of our drive thrus or gas ⛽️ station on the way out of town.
The crowd last night on the Dublin side are the same as us. They work for a living, then jump in their car and drive to watch their kiddos play a sport. We want them to feel safe in doing so in hopes they will return and possibly bring their neighbors next time.
We should cheer LOUDER than them, always, but remember that the goal is to cheer for our players, not against theirs.
There was energy in the building last night, from start to finish, and none of it was at the expense of Pulaski County.
Mr DeHaven works 💪 very hard for us and could use all the help we can provide. Some folks can write ✍️ a check, and that’s great, but most can move the needle 🪡 just by being aware of how important the visitors are to the bottom line.
Thank you, Travis, for the pics 📸.
Thank you for the Cake 🎂 , song and card.
