This picture with Tony Bennett and my daughter, Kayla, was 5 years ago today. It changed my life and gave hope to Kayla at an extremely difficult moment. Here is a short summary: * Kayla was diagnosed with gastroparesis (paralysis of the stomach) with the underlying cause of

Last year, Tony Bennett graciously took the time after practice one day, to share his thoughts with me on how a culture of character is so central to sustaining a winning program. A lot has happened since then, and yet I still wanted to include a chapter devoted to his thoughts

I left Scott Stadium yesterday as an unhappy customer. As a fan, a supporter, as a sponsor, and as an entrepreneur who believes UVA can win in the NIL space- still I was unhappy. Not wanting the AD, or the coach to be fired, or blaming the QB. It is bigger than that. In a

If we want the answer as to how to fix college athletics, the simple answer is be more like Tony Bennett. If we want the answer on how those professing faith in Christ can live so others want to know more about their faith, the simple answer is to be more like Tony Bennett. If we

And which UVA great has the net around their neck after clinching the ACC title? Kihei, Jayden, Armand? No, but team manager Anna Williamson. Honor those who serve and especially those who so serve so well in relative obscurity. Great culture! @UVAMensHoops @annafwilly

Yesterday was a beautiful day to be at Scott Stadium and to cheer on a very competitive @UVAFootball team. There are a lot of thoughts being expressed about what it will take to get a crowd at even 80% capacity. I will join in with my thoughts: 1) From my vantage point, I
