Do's and Don’ts
Excerpts from Michael Gaio’s blog on social media dos and don’ts for student-athletes
Nothing is truly private … ever. While many kids think they can delete a tweet or delete their Facebook profile if need be, many don’t realize that content posted on the Internet can last forever. Content can be captured in screenshots or saved by other users.
If you retweet it (or share it), you own it. “Freedom of speech does not equal freedom from consequences,” says David Petroff, director of athletic communications at Edgewood (Wis.) College.
Personal branding. Every tweet reflects who you are. How are student-athletes choosing to represent themselves?
Say thank you. Teach student-athletes to take time to thank those who support them. Fans, teammates and family, for example.
Support others. Student-athletes can provide a positive example for other students by sending positive messages about their peers in other sports or activities at school.
One bad tweet can be costly to a student athlete Any student can stir up trouble with a comment, picture or online conversation, and that extends well beyond an elite athlete aiming for a scholarship.
