For those that don't know, we also have a blog that is dedicated to student-athletes called "Hoop Boost." We post about twice a week on it and the post are usually short in nature and often utilize video. It's a great place to find posts to email to your players with various messages.
Today we posted a video of Mo Isom, the soccer player at LSU who tried out for the LSU football team. She has overcome tremendous adversity in becoming an All-American soccer player for the Tigers. The video comes from a segment she did recently on The Ellen Show. Watch it and you'll know why we emailed this post to our players.
