    Episode 12 Part 2 Cultivating College Readiness

    In Part 2 of Cultivating College Readiness, Deedee and I continue our conversation on important areas our young athletes need to focus on while in high school, so they can be fully prepared to enter college as student athletes. We talk about Advanced Placement Classes vs Dual Credit Courses, and give suggestions on how your athlete could approach these opportunities.  Listen in as Deedee shares her son’s strategy, and how he took the lead in this area of his academic career.   Deedee Brown-Campbell the Senior Associate Athletic Director at Texas Tech, doesn't miss the opportunity to pour into MOMs about the amazing student athlete centered programs in her Athletic Department and most others in the NCAA.  Instilled to help your son or daughter find balance, support and succeed as a whole. Thanks for listening to MOMs Running Point.  Grab your notebook to write down some of the questions to ask High School Counselors, Athletic Academic Advisors and Student Affairs Departments. Game Ball: Jack Tuttle receives my game ball this episode for his wise decision.  Less than a month ago Tuttle retired from college football citing concussions and other health concerns.  Tuttle was the starting quarterback for The Michigan Wolverines and saw the big picture and retired instead of potentially jeopardizing his health for life.  I give the game ball to Tuttle for making a really tough decision, I'm assuming amidst a lot of pressure and expectations.  Technical Foul: Following the game ball's amazing decision to take precautions due to a concussion, I give my technical foul to ALL staff involved in the decision to allow Tua Tagovailoa to continue to play after he sustained an obvious concussion in game.  Anyone who sustains a brain injury like his, in that moment is not able to make the RIGHT decision for themselves, who's call is it really, coaches, trainers? Supposedly it's the Head Team Physician, who is appointed and not hired by the team that makes the call.  I'm wondering where the disconnect happened for Tagovailoa's well being.  I wish someone would have stood up for what was right, and not let him continue to play in multiple games, when he clearly wasn't okay.  MOMs protect your babies, it’s not okay for someone with a dog in the race to make a decision for them, especially something this big.  Who's on the sideline determining if your child keeps playing after a hit to the head, or a time out injury.  Advocate for your athletes MOMs. Connect with MOMs Running Point:  Follow MOMs Running Point on Facebook Follow MOM's Running Point on Instagram Click here for the MOM's Running Point Newsletter

    Episode 11- Cultivating College Readiness Part 1

    MOMs Welcome to Cultivating College Readiness Part 1.  Dee Dee Brown-Campbell, Associate Athletic Director and SWA joins me again as we put a spot light on her Department at Texas Tech and their role in student athlete development.  What does that mean you ask?  It means each Athletic Department across the NCAA, has an entire division that staffs & focuses on student athletes’ success off the courts, fields and arenas.  Through-out this discussion we highlight the subtle differences between College Admission and NCAA Clearing House Requirements (NCAA Guide for College Bound Student Athletes), and how your high school GPA and Standardize test scores could impact your athletes’ admissions.  If your high school athlete has eyes on playing in college, check out this episode and your family prepared and avoid surprises.  Once again we had too much information for one episode.  Part two of Cultivating College Readiness will be available November 10th, 2024.  Mark your calendars!!!

    Episode 7, BLIS Community

    As Sports MOMs we share a common athletic interest which makes us a community by default.    Today Shantel Canty and I discuss the differences in our experiences on the sidelines of these communities and ways to improve the atmosphere.  Listen in as Shantel, a beginner sports mom, shares stories that really helped her feel a sense of community on her kids teams, and is honest with her desire to learn and grow in sports.  As a seasoned sports mom, I feel the responsibility to help other moms enjoy their experience on the sidelines, regardless of my competitiveness, stress levels or passionate focus on the outcome.  I know sports seasons are brief and you may only see that mom for 2 months out of the year, but it's more than just your experience, your child sees and learns community through you.  Check out my BLIS Acronym of what community should be and how I achieve it. Don't miss this opportunity to increase your awareness of what others Sports MOMs experience on the sidelines and be part of the positivity all teams need.   Episode Description Links Connect with MOMs Running Point:  Follow MOMs Running Point on Facebook Follow MOM's Running Point on Instagram Click here for the MOM's Running Point Newsletter

    Episode 6 Play Them ALL... Until You Can't and Phenomenal Sports Parenting Advice!

    If your child is a multisport athlete there is no doubt you need to hear today's episode!!!  Many of us Sports MOMs have children in two even three sports, over multiple seasons, contrary to pressure to specialize earlier and earlier.  Today Deedee Brown-Campbell, Texas Tech.'s Senior Womens Associate, talks about the costs of too many sport obligations, and how they swayed her son’s sports participation as well as influenced a new formula for sports for her dynamic daughter.    Despite her beliefs to let them be kids and play as long as possible, mounting commitments and obvious talent required him to whittle down to his favorites and those he excels.  Her son is a 4-star Football Junior in High School might I add.  Be prepared to take notes as Deedee candidly shares the importance of her child making tough choices, how she parents through sports discipline, and is forthright with her son about commitment and sacrifices.  This episode is funny and light, but packed with amazing insight.  After listening to this Episode, you'll be excited to know DeeDee will join us again for Cultivating College Readiness for Student Athletes in a future episode.   Its already in the works!!!
