Before I get into the latest edition of the #GetSET blog, I wanted to take a brief break to be thankful. On Wednesday, December 21, John McNichols - passed away after complications from a stroke. Coach McNichols was one of the first coaches I worked with early in my career in sports information at Indiana State University. He allowed me to come alongside him to do many great things including hosting the 2002 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships. It might be the events, the meets that some people will remember but it will be the visits to his office or in casual conversations that I will remember most. He was a very dedicated and committed to every individual, who came alongside him. I share his legacy in this space to reiterate the importance of your relationships. Coach McNichols was very subservient and a great teammate in all that he did. He epitomized what it meant to be SET.
