Do sports build character—or just fill the calendar? In this Live Sturdy conversation, Christian counselor Keith McCurdy joins host Davies Owens to explore the role of athletics in the lives of students and families. From travel teams and over-scheduled lives to the hidden virtue of humility after a tough loss, Keith brings decades of experience as a counselor, coach, and classical school board member to help us navigate the tension between healthy competition and unhealthy obsession.What are the true benefits of team sports? How do you know when your child (or family!) is overcommitted? And what should classical Christian schools consider when expanding their athletic programs? Whether you're raising a future Olympian or a kid who prefers chess to cross country, this episode will help you keep perspective—and put sports in their proper place.

This episode is deeply personal. As we prepare for my son Bryce's graduation, I've found myself reflecting on the many lessons he's taught me—lessons that go far beyond parenting.I always say that entrepreneurship and leadership mirror life, and this season with Bryce has reminded me just how true that is. From trusting God when the path is unclear to choosing discipline over motivation, I'm sharing five powerful lessons that have shaped not just how I parent, but how I lead my team and run my business.Whether you're a parent, an entrepreneur, or someone simply trying to live with more purpose and alignment—you'll take something meaningful from this conversation.Inside this episode, I cover:Why faith over fear is a game-changer in both parenting and entrepreneurship.How real leadership shows up when no one's watching.The importance of staying coachable and disciplined, especially under pressure.Why your circle will make or break your momentum.How staying grounded in your values can guide you through criticism and tough choices.If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you!Send me a DM or tag me on Instagram @itsRaquelQ and share your favorite takeaway—or send it to a parent or entrepreneur who needs this reminder today.Don't forget to rate, review, and follow the show so you never miss an episode.

Big changes could soon be coming to the way college athletes can profit off their name, image and likeness, or NIL. Since NIL legislation was first passed in 2021, student-athletes have had to pursue deals independently of their universities. But under the terms of a legal settlement announced last year, colleges could devote up to $20.5 million in athletic revenue to directly paying athletes for use of their name, image and likeness. The agreement still needs final approval from a federal judge, but is expected to be resolved in the coming weeks. Lauren Anderson is the director of the Warsaw Sports Business Center at the University of Oregon. She joins us with more details on the settlement and its implications for college athletic programs in Oregon.

I recently spoke with Reid Meyer of A2A Academy and the Student-Athlete Advisors. Reid always knew that sports would be a significant part of his life. Growing up, he dreamed of playing college sports, and he vividly recalls feeling anxious about second-guessing every decision he made in high school regarding his college opportunities. After attending four schools in four years and ultimately giving up the sport he loved after just two, Reid realized there had to be a better way to support student-athletes and their families. Following years of schooling, training, and feedback, the A2A Academy emerged as the premier program to assist student-athletes and their families as they navigate one of the most critical decisions of their lives to date. In our conversation, Reid and I discussed: The expectations, based on statistics, that students and families should have about playing Division 1 sports The need to find the right fit college for student-athletes Why tenacity is needed when it comes to getting noticed by colleges and coaches Funding opportunities for student-athletes at Division 3 colleges And much more Connect with Reid at https://www.joina2a.com/ or https://www.thestudentathleteadvisors.com/ ---------- Whether you are prepping for the May or June SAT, J&J's test prep starts on April 13th.

Delaney Engler was nominated as a Beck's Player with Heart for her commitment and passion on and off the field and court. The thing she loves most about high school sports is the team aspect and the positive culture that it provides. Living in a small community has allowed her to play multiple sports with several of her classmates. This core group of girls has not only served as talented teammates but also lifelong friends. She is extremely grateful for the incredible opportunities that she has been introduced to throughout high school sports. Competing at such a high level alongside her best friends is an experience that she will truly never forget. Throughout her high school career, Delaney has had successful varsity careers in volleyball, softball, and basketball. Additionally, she currently serves as her school's FFA chapter president and the Southeast District FFA treasurer. She is also involved in the National Honor Society, and Student Council, and serves as her 4-H Club secretary. Through living in a small community, Delaney has had multiple opportunities to lend a helping hand to charitable organizations. Specifically, she spends the majority of her summer volunteering with youth sports league organizations and providing sports lessons. It is exciting for her to be able to help grow the athletic skills of young athletes in her community. Additionally, she volunteers at the local ballpark concession stand and Easter Egg Hunts when needed. She has also had the opportunity to volunteer with Café on Vine through her 4-H club and serve meals to the less fortunate. To Delaney, agriculture serves as the traditional backbone of America. Without the agriculture industry, consumers would not be able to eat food, wear clothes, drive their cars, and so much more. The practice of providing products for the American people will never become insignificant. The work ethic that farmers showcase to provide for consumers is truly admirable. Being raised on a diversified livestock and crop operation has taught her firsthand the work that goes into the agriculture industry day in and day out. After graduating high school, Delaney plans to attend Illinois Central College to obtain a transfer degree in animal science and compete on the livestock judging team. Then, she will attend Iowa State University to complete her bachelor's degree and continue her livestock judging career.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kody Kostick was nominated as a Beck's Player with Heart for his commitment and passion on and off the court. Although unable to pick one favorite aspect of high school sports, he has had a lot of amazing moments in all the sports he's been a part of. The sports he plays have had a major role in his growth as a person on and off the court. He has made friendships and relationships with some of his now closest friends on his team and other opposing teams. High school sports have forced him to learn discipline and commitment at an early age. He has loved helping the younger players and being a role model to them. He has developed character and learned many skills such as leadership, commitment, responsibility, and relationship building. He loves everything that his teammates, coaches, and spectators have taught him throughout his time as an athlete. Kody competes in basketball as the captain. He is also a member of the peer leader group at Aitkin High School and is involved in Aitkin High School Community Service Day. Kody is a member of Aitkin County 4-H and has held offices in his club as well. He has participated in his community by helping with the Community Halloween Party for 10 years by donating his time to run games and a haunted house for the younger kids. He has been involved in the Community 5K run to raise funds for the veterans of Aitkin County. He participated in community walks and awareness for suicide prevention. He has advocated for suicide awareness in his community and tries to instill courage to reach out for help when it is needed. This has become a very important conviction for him. Agriculture, to Kody, is the backbone of the local economy. It is a fantastic source of food and family tradition in Aitkin County. He believes it is important for communities all around the world to value agriculture because it plays a major role in all communities, even more than people may know. The local community he lives in has a broad view of agriculture, and agriculture has been a staple in the community. He comes from a family that raises pigs and horses, so agriculture is a major part of his life. He understands the value of agriculture in his community and how much it has shaped the town he lives in. He is enrolled at the University of North Dakota and will be pursuing a major in nursing. He plans to specialize in pediatric oncology nursing with a future dream of someday working at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. He hopes to make a difference in kids' lives.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Zachary Overgaard was nominated as a Beck's Player with Heart for his commitment and passion on and off the field and course. What he loves most about high school sports is the bond that his teammates and he have created throughout the years. He believes the friendships from sports last forever, and so do the memories. In sports, Zachary competes in football and golf. He has also been given the privilege of managing his school's hockey team, where they got the opportunity to participate in the state tournament. When he is not in school or playing sports, Zachary participates in peer helping, which involves contributing hours such as small projects for the community. Zachary has learned all that he knows about agriculture from his father. His father has taught him what it means to become a man and he has learned that nothing is ever guaranteed, similar to when farmers hope for no rain, and the next day, it storms. After graduating high school, Zachary plans to go to a two-year trade school for electrical construction and then return home to his community to develop his own electrical company.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Noelle Fox was nominated as a Beck's Player with Heart for her commitment and passion on and off the court. What she loves most about high school sports is the friendships and relationships she has built with her teammates. The bond formed through countless hours of practice, long bus rides, and tough games is something truly special. As a senior, Noelle has especially enjoyed mentoring younger players and being a support system for them, whether it's offering words of encouragement, a quick hug, or even a prayer when they need it. She has also taken pride in being a positive role model for the team managers, making sure they feel just as valued as the players on the court. Beyond the relationships, high school sports have taught her the importance of time management. Balancing late-night games and the demands of College Credit Plus classes has challenged her to stay organized and disciplined. Throughout high school, Noelle has been actively involved in academics, athletics, and leadership opportunities that have shaped her character and work ethic. She has been a member of the basketball and volleyball teams for all four years. Outside of sports, she is involved in FCCLA and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is currently serving as an FFA Officer, helps as a Student Advisor, and has earned her Chapter and Greenhand Degrees. Additionally, she anticipates earning her State FFA Degree in May. She has competed in Dairy Cattle and General Livestock Career Development Events (CDEs). Noelle also participates in her church youth group. This summer, she will also be attending a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Making a positive impact in her community has been a priority for Noelle throughout high school. Through her involvement in service projects such as the Pettisville Recycling Center and Pettisville Community Clean-Up, she has contributed to sustainability efforts and assisted elderly residents with yard maintenance. Volunteering at the Fulton County Fair Pork and Milkshake Stands allowed her to support her local FFA chapter, while her work with Toys for Cheer helped provide meals and gifts to families in need. Noelle has also been committed to improving safety in her school by assisting with the creation and distribution of "Stop the Bleed" emergency kits. Educating younger students at Ag Fest and Farm Machinery Safety Day has been especially rewarding, as she has helped foster a greater understanding of agriculture and farm safety. Agriculture has always held a special place in Noelle's heart, despite not growing up on a farm. Her journey into the field took a surprising turn when she announced she would be working on a pig farm last summer. Being surrounded by squealing piglets and learning to vaccinate, notch ears, trim tails, and maintain clean, safe environments ignited her passion for animal care and the agriculture industry. This hands-on experience revealed how much she could contribute to animal welfare and sustainable farming practices. With her education, leadership, and dedication to the future of farming, she is confident that she will make a meaningful contribution to the agriculture industry. Noelle is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in agribusiness with a focus on animal production at Huntington University. She is excited to learn more about advancements in animal care and the role of technology in improving farm efficiency. She aims to combine her education and leadership experiences to contribute to her community and foster the growth of sustainable agriculture. Her long-term goal is to own and manage a farm where she can apply the practices she has learned and promote humane animal care.

Compensation for college athletics is changing fast. University sports programs are having to adapt to the evolving market for athletes through what is known as name, image and likeness. The issue is being debated in state legislatures and Congress.
