Today, I was assigned to walk around campus and talk to people. The first thing I did was follow Dylan Hamill to Dimmit Hall and listen to him talk to someone about volley. I then decided to walk to Lewis Hall and talk to JJ Marlow about sports.

I got the chance to talk to JJ Marlow, the Director of Annual Scholarship Fund here at Morningside about youth and college sports.

“I feel like the difference between college and youth sports is the coaching” Said JJ Marlow, “I think at times youth coaches put in less than colleges and at times can have preferences that are based on who they like not who is performing the best”.

JJ Marlow was a softball player here at Morningside, and she had great perspective on the youth and college sports atmosphere.

JJ said, “I think I learned a lot more about sports during my college days then I did my youth sports days.”

I also took a picture of a Morningside flag in JJ’s office.
