BYU Sports Museum Tour - April 25, 2008

Just before the graduation ceremony, Casey was tutoring one of BYU's athletes. We took a tour while waiting for him to finish. This was not your normal tour as we were lucky enough to get a tour also from "behind the scenes."







The sports museum is several stories high with memorabilia all the way around each floor. Our tour guide had one interesting story after another to share with us.......
Each season each football player draws a picture of what motivates them. These drawings are posted on the wall for the athletes to see in the room where they have team meetings.

This map of the world shows where all the current athletes have served missions.






This is a BYU basketball player's shoe with Jenna's shoe in comparison.









This is Morris' hand compared to a BYU basketball player's hand. What a difference considering Morris' hand is not small.



This is Jenna standing in front of the shadow of Shawn Bradley's actual size. I think Shawn is 7 ft. 6 inches.










Casey was kind enough to let me take this picture. The tour guide said this BYU football player will be a "Sunday player." Of course I didn't know what that meant but learned that it meant the football player would be on a professional team for the NFL because he is extremely talented. I will be watching for him and I'll put his name here as soon as Casey gives me the correct spelling.




This is a picture of Casey and Matt, one of his favorite athletes to tutor. I think he is also a BYU football player.

This is a room where all the huge BYU financial donors get to come. The chairs were very comfortable and the table quite large. I'm sure this will be the only opportunity I have to be in this special room!
It was a great tour!
