Here are six excerpts and some
quick commentary:
From the story:
“The moment the
players see you
making it about you,
not the team — when
the coach gets the
endorsements and
poses for magazine
covers and hosts a
radio show — you
lose them.”
It may be a combination of mind
game and genuine humility,
but advisers who abstain from
referring to the media they advise
as “my paper” or “my yearbook”
or “my website” are establishing
a team atmosphere, a feeling of
“we are in this together.”
This seems so simple, but a slight
change to talking about “our”
paper or yearbook or website can
signify something profound.
What stories did you hear? Adviser Tina Barber and Cherokee Trail (Colorado) students, Jessica
Henderson and Marinda Villanueva, debrief their coverage of the eclipse on August 21, 2017. Members of
the 2018 Legend Yearbook staff reported on the eclipse during their third day of school and worked with
AP Photography students to expand their work as photojournalists. Photo by Genevieve Prejean
