So much about being an athlete is about the memories you build playing alongside your teammates, the long bus rides, and experiencing different places. I really appreciate our coaches for providing our players with this opportunity to build memories.

School taught us that C is average. Straight A’s mean you’ll be successful in life. Not necessarily. Some of the most prepared people for adulthood were C students. Not lazy. Not incapable. Just navigating a system that rewarded compliance more than capability. Grades are great at measuring one thing: How well you do school. They are terrible at predicting: Who can adapt Who can recover Who can communicate Who can lead when there’s no rubric C students learn those skills early—because they have to. They fail sooner. They adjust sooner. They stop waiting to be told what “good” looks like. Psychologists call it desirable difficulty. Life calls it preparation. And before someone says it, yes, many A students are wildly successful. This isn’t A vs. C. It’s a metrics problem. Grades correlate with success in structured systems. They don’t cause success in an unstructured world. Some A students succeed because they also have: resilience relational intelligence risk tolerance adaptability Those traits, not grades, help them succeed. And many C students excel because they’ve been practicing those skills their whole lives. In fact, two of the most successful investors on Shark Tank—a show built entirely around real-world success—were not top students. Daymond John was an average student and dyslexic. He didn’t do great in school. He did great with people, timing, and opportunity. Barbara Corcoran was a straight-D student and dyslexic. School didn’t play to her strengths. Failure didn’t break her. It built confidence, persuasion, and grit. None of them lacked intelligence. They lacked alignment. This isn’t anti-school. And it’s not anti-achievement. Because life doesn’t ask: What was your GPA? It asks: Can you adapt? Can you communicate? Can you recover when things don’t go as planned? Can you lead without being handed the answers? A lot of C students already can. And that might be the most underrated preparation of all.
