(1/5) The time has come to challenge the sustained attack against #Olympic sports on campuses across America. The primary value of collegiate sports isn’t (or at least shouldn’t be) generating revenue or entertainment;
(2/5) rather, it’s about creating opportunities, learning lessons, and building skills outside the traditional classroom—all with the goal of molding the compassionate leaders of tomorrow.
(3/5)On the field, student-athletes build self-esteem, awareness, and resilience and learn teamwork, patience, and discipline. If you believe this—please share your stories and perspective on the power of sports with @williamandmary, @TribeAthletics, @WMTribeClub, @SaveTheTribe7.
(4/5)The cuts to Olympic sports needs to be confronted not only by those immediately impacted (current student-athletes, coaches, and alumni) but also by those potentially affected and their advocates including high school coaches, counselors, parents, family members and friends.
(5/5) Please join the cause, share your stories, and save Olympic sports starting today. #SaveTheTribe7
