CYO Athletics - "Lay your heart on the line"

In these words, the head football coach of Marshall University exhorts his team to give their best effort in the movie, "We Are Marshall". Heart is a much used word in athletics. We can point to athletes giving their best effort and Jesus Christ living out his full commitment in His Passion as lessons for our youth in CYO Athletics.

In our upcoming track season, we are asking our athletes to lay their heart on the line and "wear red" to advocate for heart health. We are sending out materials for our coaches to review with our athletes and families about the importance of cardiovascular health and encouraging them to wear red socks, bands, wrist bands, ribbons, shoelaces, etc. in our preliminary (May 5) and qualifying (May 12) meets.
