Good Morning,
To all the Select Nation mothers. The Nation would not be what it is if it were not for the loving support we received from the mothers of our student athletes. You are special and personally I wish you Happy Mother's Day.
The picture above speaks to the love and support, plus the recognition between a son and his mother. If you have not heard the tribute that Kevin gave to his mother, please go online and watch it. It shows his love for basketball, but more so, the love of his mother. Go MVP.
We earned our first trophy of the weekend on Saturday. The Mighty Atlanta Select Fifth Grade RED team added another championship trophy to their collection. They won the D1Spects tournament in the Fifth Grade division.
Our three teams (Coach Gates, Coach Venson and Coach Carpenter) participating in the Wallace Prather Memorial were all 1 - 2 after yesterday's competition. Good Luck to all.
Watch our Mighty Atlanta Select Second Grade SILVER team yesterday as they scrimmaged another second grade team. You can believe that they are ready. It just so happen that there are not too many tournaments that are for this grade. But they are ready. Kudos to Coach Baskerville and his team.
Our Atlanta Select Ninth Grade BLACK team entered their second tournament this weekend. The results were not what they wanted, but they have the tools to do so in the future. I spoke to the team and just emphasized SYNERGY. They will be alright.
The Mighty Savannah Select 11th Grade RED team is 1 - 1 at Big Shots in Jacksonville, FL. One of their players was injured during a game, taken to the hospital with a stated concussion. Kudos to Coach Little for following the policies and procedures of AAU and Select. He took swift action, no second guessing, followed AAU Concussion Policy, contacted parents, followed their advice, reported it to me and waited and followed the doctor's advice. The player was not allowed to continue play and will be sidelined for a period. Coach Little is prepared to complete and submit the Incident Report to AAU as need be. That is why I demand that all your players be covered with our additional benefit AAU membership, that covers you no matter what tournament that you participate, AAU or not. Please do not get caught short of having a player on your team that is not a member of the Select Nation. Accidents/incidents will happen. Be prepared.
Today I will celebrate Mother's Day with my wife and children. Going to Brunch this morning and firing up the grill and Bar--B-Que this afternoon. I am with my family but I am with you in support and commitment. Thank you all for what you do. SYNERGY in Action.
Again, Happy Mother's Day.
