Coming Soon! "The Real Dual Threat-The Series"
Read how I will go beyond the dual threats we have come to know in sports. The Real Dual Threat pertains to more than the field or court. It pertains to the launching of successful lives. Come see.
When we hear or think about a dual threat, it is usually regarding a quarterback who is an offensive threat with both his arm and his legs. He can hurt you with his passing and with his rushing. He goes at the defense with two strengths. That can be a big advantage in the game plan. And can lead to great results. That is a dual threat.
At most, that is only part of a Real Dual Threat. A Real Dual Threat is when an NCAA athlete is recognized for being elite in both athletics and academics. The measure is being named as an athletic All-American and an Academic All-American in the same season. Going forward, those hard working young men and women will be recognized as a “Playing On Sports Real Dual Threat”
Sadly, some go to college for the wrong reason. Some go to only play a sport. Or, because it is expected of them. And if we are honest, some go to party away from home. But that isn’t true of those who will be featured in this series. Those featured in this series went to learn. And while they were at it, they also played a sport. And they did both very well. While participating in sports they learned how to work through adversity, how to overcome failure and develop confidence. They learned how to work with others in order to achieve more. And they learned how to lead. In doing so, they took their position among the best. Those who will be featured accomplished all of that, and more. They also gained high levels of proficiency in their chosen field of academics. It could be engineering, or medicine. It could be law, business, or technology. Whatever the chosen field, they mastered it so well that they stand out academically among their athletic peers. They have also learned the most valuable lesson to learn. .They have learned how to learn. That is essential in today’s world as the successful never stop learning.
Some men and women are a threat by excelling in sports. Some threaten to do well because of their academics. But these young men and women are the Real Dual Threats as they move on into the exciting world of their futures.
