“First of all, I want to thank all the people that poured in to everyone in our locker room. We’re not here without the love, support and coaching from everybody before us. And I want to shout out all of the former Michigan players — this one is for them.”
-Dusty May, after coaching Michigan to a national championship
It’s easy to celebrate a win — to focus on what’s happening right now. But Dusty May’s words remind us that none of us get here alone. Every good thing we do rests on the shoulders of those who came before us - mentors, friends, family, and teammates who believed in us when it mattered most.
Take a moment today to remember your “before us.” Maybe even thank one of them.
