Setting Sites on Collegiate SportsBy: Coach Travis
Saturday’s Big Sky win by my Alma Mater, the Sac State Hornets, is extraordinary! When I look to the future of what this means to my kids, little athletes, still in elementary and middle school, I see a strategic win for the Greater Sacramento Region when it comes to athletic player development. Having been a Cross Country and Track & Field scholarship athlete at Sac State, myself, and having coached and held board positions of our kids' local leagues, we know that this location is a hub for leagues (of all sports & sizes), players, and has the infrastructure in place to excel strategically. As the years grow, Sacramento region’s collegiate sports are news breaking, and winning BIG! A question I often get from parents: “When do you start looking into college level sports?” Here is what I have seen in my industry, happening amongst players.
