Making it to the Big Dance involves more than just a talented squad. Don't believe us, ask Syracuse...Punching your ticket to the tourney happens one of two ways, you either play your H.E.A.R.T out all season long, presenting the committee with a resume of hard fought wins; or you win your conference tournament and get an automatic spot.
Either way, the Dance is filled with teams of players who leave everything out on the court. They have to to prepare them for this moment. One loss and you're done. Finished. Finito. It takes a boatload of H.E.A.R.T to walk onto a court and know, not think, but know, that if you lose that's it. There is no running it back. No do overs. No nothing. That's it.
As difficult as it is to get into the tournament, there are two games that allow a few extra teams into the mix. Knowing how hard it is to make it and the chances of them moving on aren't that great, these teams still show up and ball out because they know it's about Having Enough Attitude Resilience and Toughness. And when you play with H.E.A.R.T, nothing else matters. Not how big, fast, smart, game ready etc. The only thing that matters is the name on the front of your jersey and what's inside your chest.
Don't forget to watch the play-in games March 14th.

Hello, my name is John Harris and H.E.A.R.T Athletics LLC is the name of the company I started during my last year in the military. H.E.A.R.T Athletics LLC is a company that aims to bridge the gap between a common sports phrase (heart; having it, using it, wearing it on your sleeve...etc.) and the athletes who exude it. It has been my life long dream to start my own business while providing a unique product to athletes and sports fans just like myself. Having "H.E.A.R.T" means so much to me because as a football player, I wasn't the biggest or the fastest, but I played hard each and every down I was on the field. One of my most favorite memories is walking onto a Division 1AA football team and not only making the team, but starting as a Freshman Cornerback for the season. I hope you find my blog entertaining and inspiring, ultimately pushing YOU to achieve lofty goals.
