They say if you’re going to get your kids into sports, you gotta start ’em early. Since many alums of their respective colleges and universities identify with them so strongly, it only makes sense to let their children early on that this is where they come from, and this is who they will be. Even if someone didn’t go to a certain school but they still love them to death, the same parenting practice might apply.
One Twitter user doesn’t explicitly say in her bio that she went to Notre Dame, but it says, “God. Country. Notre Dame”. Her cover photo is part of a wedding photo with her holding a sign that reads, “Married Like a Champion Today.” Whether she’s a Notre Dame alumnus or not, she clearly bleeds blue and gold, and she and her husband are training her 4-year-old daughter to do the same. Specifically, they’ve used the quarantine to teach her the Notre Dame Victory March, and here’s how their effort paid off:
Taught our 4 year old the Fight Song during this quarantine and we couldn’t be more proud! Go IRISH! LOVE THEE NOTRE DAME! 🏈🍀🙌🏼 @NDFootball @gamedayND @NDSportsCenter @smashley_4 @CoachBrianKelly @T_Rees11 @tylereifert @Brady_Quinn @fatherbudzinski @Dwyer11Dwyer pic.twitter.com/JSvWVnxilD

As you can see, her mom tagged some prominent names associated with the football program. Luckily, Tommy Rees noticed and got the video even more attention:
Sing it loud for everyone to hear! Great video! https://t.co/EYzKyuB6dS

Seeing your young children constantly sing a song they love is one thing. Seeing them sing a song you taught them is another. When they’re able to sing a song representing something you would run through a wall for, your pride goes to another stratosphere.
Excellent work, Mom and Dad! You’ve taught your little girl well. Hope to see her at a game soon.
