The South Rome Alliance has distributed over $200,000 in grants since 2023 through the South Rome Community Grants Program. Great to see SRA continue to make a difference in our community.

Sean McVay on the importance of defining success for yourself instead of inheriting society’s version of it. "You're having the success, but you get misguided in regards to your priorities, your perspective, and societal's scoreboard, as opposed to your personal scoreboard that really lasts." A lot of coaches achieve what they thought they wanted only to realize they built success around a definition they never intentionally chose. If your entire identity is built around the external scoreboard, eventually you can achieve everything you thought you wanted and still feel disconnected from your life. The ultimate goal isn’t simply to win more. It’s to become someone capable of sustaining success without losing yourself in the process. 📹: Bussin' with the Boys
