Tweet

Social media can be a lot of fun but as a student athlete there are rules that we need to live by. Breaking these rules can cost you a scholarship.

My parents always preach that before I post anything on social media it has to pass this test; would God, my parents and coaches approve? If not do not post.

Sad for me to say, but I know two girls who have lost scholarships because of social media. But follow these social media rules you will have nothing to worry about.
