How High School Coaches can use Holiday Tournaments to get Players Exposure

The day after Thanksgiving, I drove up to Murfreesboro, TN to attend the Girl Powher Showcases Tennessee Turkey Jamm. I’ve attended this event every year since it started right here in my back yard at Central High School in Memphis, TN. I felt there was no need to stop now. I’m always impressed to see the talent level of the players and teams participating in this event.

I don’t watch many television shows but on Thursdays I am locked in on ABC’s Scandal.

I recently learned about the TV series from friends on Facebook. So I decided to check it out. Now I’m addicted. I love television dramas that keep me guessing and wondering what’s gonna happen next.

To make a long story short, Scandal is about Olivia Pope, a former communications director to the President of the United States, who left the White House to open her own prominent crisis management firm.  She has a team of individuals who are considered dysfunctional, yet they put their specialized skills together to get the job done.

Olivia’s accomplished staff include Harrison Wright, a slick litigator; Huck, hacker extraordinaire; and investigator Abby Whelan.

Let me break down how the show relates to your recruitment:
