Important contributions come in various forms, even in sports like race walking where athletes endure extreme physical challenges. The MVP of a team may not always be the most skilled player, but the one who keeps the team functioning despite adversity.

The Bowden family is also a testament to his parenting skills, as he raised successful sons Jimmy and Terry. Despite coaching against them, he finished with a 5-4 record against them. Overall, the intersection of sports, social media, and leadership can be complex, and it's important for owners to consider the potential repercussions of their actions.
