Through conversations with our coaches and administration regarding the racial injustice and social unrest in our country, it has become clear that while we come from different backgrounds and perspectives, we also share many of the same thoughts, concerns and values. Most importantly, we have found it extremely difficult to navigate the deep and personal pain that our student-athletes and staff are experiencing, particularly during this time of isolated disconnection. Many of us have also found it difficult to determine what to say and how to effectively support our colleagues and student-athletes, as we all work through these very challenging thoughts and raw emotions.
