Let’s be honest, family. What’s the biggest myth sports parents believe?
I’ll go first: that a full athletic scholarship is the norm.
The truth? Less than 1% of high school athletes receive one. That financial gap catches so many families off guard, and most don’t see it coming until they’re already deep in the recruiting process.

So if you work in college athletics, education, or counseling, I want to hear from you. What’s the most common misconception you see sports families walk in with?

Drop it in the comments. Your answer might be exactly what another parent needs to read today. 👇

Let me say that again for the parent in the back.

Your child does not have to be the star to get a scholarship.

I know that’s not what the highlight reel culture tells you. I know it feels like if your kid isn’t getting the most points, the most yards, the most attention, then the door is closed.
It is not closed.

I have watched coaches pass on the flashiest player in the room to recruit the kid who showed up early, stayed late, kept their grades up, and made everyone around them better. Every single time.

Because here is what coaches know that a lot of parents don’t yet. They’re not just building a roster. They’re building a locker room. And a locker room full of coachable, consistent, character-driven athletes wins championships.

So if your child is putting in the work quietly, showing up without being asked, respecting their coaches and teammates, and handling their business in the classroom, they are already doing the things that get recruiters to look twice.

Your job right now is to make sure the right people see it.

What an amazing gymnast! 🤸🏾‍♀️

I had the pleasure of watching Raeya Linton compete at the Nastia Liukin Cup here in Henderson, Nevada, and she was incredible. Her floor routine was powerful, artistic, and so much fun to watch.

As a Stanford Women’s Gymnastics alum, it makes me so proud to see talented young athletes like Raeya heading to the Farm. 🌲❤️

Stanford is getting a phenomenal gymnast and an inspiring young woman. It was such a pleasure meeting her. Welcome to the Farm, Raeya — we can’t wait to cheer you on!

Most people assume heart disease is something to worry about “later.”

But the timeline creeps up faster than we think.
The habits we build in our 20s, 30s, and 40s are already shaping what happens decades ahead.

Heart health isn’t an old-age issue, it’s a lifelong conversation. ❤️

Most people don’t wake up thinking about their heart, until it forces their attention.

The problem is, heart health isn’t built in emergencies. It’s built in quiet, daily decisions that feel small in the moment but compound over years. Sleep, stress, food, movement, checkups none of it is dramatic, but all of it matters.

This month we’re shifting the focus from fear to
understanding. My goal isn’t to scare you. It’s to give you clarity and tools so you feel more in control of your health, not overwhelmed by it.

Stay with me as we break this down step by step. Prevention is powerful when you actually know what to prevent. ❤️

Girls and women in sports have always carried more than competition, they carry history.

Every leap, every landing, every moment of discipline builds on the generations that came before. Black women in sport have pushed boundaries, expanded representation and redefined what strength looks like, often without recognition, but never without impact.

These images span decades, a reminder that excellence is not new. It’s inherited. It’s protected. It’s passed forward.

As Stanford University’s first Black gymnast, I competed in a space where representation was rare, helping widen the path for the athletes who would follow. This journey is one thread in a much larger story, a story of women who continue to rise, compete and redefine what is possible.

National Girls & Women in Sports Day and Black History Month meet in the same place: honoring the women who made space and the ones still rising inside it.

The legacy continues.

Many people notice the same pattern year after year, lower energy, changes in sleep, reduced motivation or feeling more withdrawn during the winter months.

If this sounds familiar, there may be a reason behind it.
