What does it mean to be an "All-Star?"

What does it mean to be an “All-Star?” The professional sports leagues seem to define “All-Star” as a player who is either among the elite players statistically, the fans or coaches’ favorites, or someone who boosts the television ratings. Nowhere in this definition is any consideration for life circumstances, tremendous off court or field development, or perhaps a player’s impact upon others.

In youth sport it’s especially important to be intentional. All-Stars should represent what your program or league values.

On Tuesday, 16 do the good (DtG) Girls All-Stars will proudly play representing the Doc Wayne program and all that we value. They have been selected very carefully by their coaches. These 16 girls were not selected based on their statistics, television ratings, or by the hundreds of Doc Wayne fans at each game ;-).  Instead they were selected based on their DtG skills, accomplishments overcoming many obstacles in life and most of all because they are the epitome of “All-Star!” in our DtG dictionary.

do the good,
