🍗🐟 COACH JOY SMITH SAID FORGET THE RESTAURANT…COME TO HER HOUSE! 😂

We asked Coach Joy where SportsLifeTalk should eat when we pull up to Oxford.

Her answer?

🏠 “MY HOUSE. I’M A COOK.”

Okay Coach…YOU SAID IT! 👀😂

Fried fish. Fried chicken. Drunken noodles. Oxtails. Braised short ribs…

And apparently we better bring the paper plates, plastic cups and COKE ZERO! 🥤🤣

Coach Joy, just know SportsLifeTalk NEVER forgets a food invitation. 😂

🏀💯 “YOU HAVE TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY ARE.”

That lesson changed Coach Joy Smith.

Early in her career, she expected players to approach the game the way SHE did.

Experience—and becoming a mom—changed that. ❤️

Now she’s still a TRUTH TELLER.

She’s still going to GET ON YOU. 😂

But there’s patience and empathy behind it.

Her philosophy?

MEET THEM WHERE THEY ARE.

THEN HELP BRING THEM UP. 📈💯

6 on the 6th! Six years of being the best first child. The kindest kid ever. The most inquisitive. The bravest even when she’s scared and the one who is not afraid to let God show through her. Happy Birthday to my big girl, Harleigh Girl! by @coachjoy2152

If there’s one thing Harleigh and Emori have gotten from our move to Mississippi, it’s confidence. I’m not sure they would’ve had opportunities like this to get up in front of a room full of people and recite scriptures and greetings at 3 and 4 years old for school before the move. Shout out to their daycare for helping us greatly and reminding them everyday that they are smart, beautiful little girls! Last year was Harleigh’s turn with Psalm 91 now yall listen to my lil southern girl Emori 😂😂 by @coachjoy2152

Harleigh came to me some months ago and asked if she could get baptized. We had been in discussion months prior about baptism and what giving your life to Christ meant and she took it upon herself to make this big life decision. So so so proud of her! by @coachjoy2152
