Owl Letters - Dusty May

Collegiate athletics came to a halt in mid-March. With social distancing, remote work schedules and the inability to gather to cheer on our favorite teams, came a void. The void of seeing our favorite teams compete; the void of watching our favorite student-athletes grow and improve.
Â
Florida Atlantic athletics recognizes that void and has seized the opportunity by providing an opportunity for fans to get to know the FAU athletes and coaches in a series called "Owl Letters." It is just one of the #WinningInParadise series that FAUSports.com will bring to you, our loyal fans.
Dear Basketball,
Thank you for taking me places that I would otherwise not be able to go. Thank you for teaching me life lessons such as disciple, work ethic, compassion, development and perseverance. Thank you for the joy of winning championship and the growth that comes from a difficult loss. But most of all, thank you for the countless incredible relationships that I have formed that will last a lifetime. My basketball family means everything to me, and I am forever grateful.
