Today’s Play: Amy and Keenan Hickton explore how parental support rooted in trust, humility, and awareness can unlock an athlete’s full potential. Keenan reflects on how his own parents supported his late transition to golf with unconditional encouragement—while also resisting the urge to overstep as knowledgeable former athletes. The conversation highlights the critical importance of letting coaches coach, staying grounded in reality, and helping student-athletes learn to take ownership of both their progress and setbacks.
Today's Coach: Keenan Hickton is the Head Men’s Golf Coach at The University of the South, Sewanee. He spent the last six years as assistant coach at Emory University, where the team achieved a No. 1 national ranking, placed in the top 5 nationally for most of his tenure, and won 22 tournaments—including three UAA championships. As a student-athlete at Emory, Keenan was a three-time UAA team champion, Tournament MVP, and two-time All-Scholar Team honoree, graduating in 2018 with a degree in Business Administration.
