The young people in our community are incredible. If you would ask this group of young people, “what did you do for Christmas break?“ they could answer, “well, the first thing I did was help raise enough money to feed over 100 families a really nice Christmas dinner, and then I got together with a bunch of athletes from other schools, assembled the dinners, and then we drove around together and delivered them”. We will never cease to be amazed at the goodness of the young people who sometimes get a bad rap. We also would like to thank Bill and Spanish Fork Macey’s, who stepped up to help us when we needed the food to feed the families and matched the generosity of the young people with their own generosity. We also thank Cameron Spotton from the Chillon reception center in Spanish Fork for helping us refrigerate the food. Thank you to the wonderful coaches and athletic directors. Who helped. Hundreds of people’s effort contributed to 500+ people having a little bit nicer of a Christmas. Thank you to everyone who participated. Merry Christmas

We love interviewing golfers. They are so insightful with the mental approach to sports. Just like Daniel Summerhayes a few podcasts back, BYU Golfer and 3-time startle champion Zac Jones, walked us through some of his mental preparation for golf. The thoughts he shared on winning the hour, and resilience were so insightful and applicable to every athlete. Here’s a sample from the podcast that posted this week. Listen to “The Sportlight Podcast” where ever you listen to podcasts.

Imagine a world where we all lived with our EYES UP and were willing to DO THE WORK to help strangers, people different than us, in public and in private, and imagine the example it would set for the upcoming generation, like I`m sure it did little "Batman" in this. Be kind, be cool.
