Dear Tar Heel Fans,
Thank you for all you do to support us in our athletic endeavors. Thank you for all you have contributed to make my admittedly charmed experience as a student-athlete possible. Thank you for having faith in us through thick and thin. Thank you for indoctrinating your children to be Tar Heel fans from a young age, as evidenced by the five-year-old I teach swimming lessons to telling me that he trusts me more because “you don’t like Duke.” Not a day goes by that I do not feel incredibly lucky and blessed to be a student-athlete at this great university.
