Soccer: Kara White To Attend NCAA Leadership Conference
Youngstown -- Youngstown State senior soccer
student-athlete Kara White (North
Canton, Ohio) will be a participant
at the 2003 NCAA Leadership
Conference held in Orlando, Fla., on
May 25-29 at the Coronado Springs
Resort and Walt Disney World Sports
Complex.
White, a defender for the Penguins, will be among 273
student-athletes to take part in the
Conference. Joining White from the
Horizon League are Butler women's
basketball player Angel Mason,
Cleveland State volleyball player
Jamie Bouyer, UW-Milwaukee women's
soccer player Erin Shaughnessy.
The NCAA Leadership Conference is one of the largest
non-competitive gatherings of NCAA
student-athletes. This will be the
seventh leadership conference that
the NCAA has hosted for
student-athletes who compete in
fall, winter and spring sports in
Divisions I, II and III.
The conference was
designed as a forum for
student-athletes to discuss key
issues collectively, and to provide
them with an opportunity to enhance
skills, which will enable them to
become more effective leaders and
motivators when they return to their
campuses. The conference also
provides student-athletes with
exercises to enhance their
decision-making and problem-solving
skills, and to improve planning and
priority management.
During the five-day leadership conference, student-athletes
have the opportunity to discuss a
variety of topics, which include the
demands and expectations of
student-athletes; inclusion
education; international
student-athlete experiences;
recruiting visits; student-athlete
responsibility; party behaviors;
trust gaps within intercollegiate
athletics; and sportsmanship.
Following the leadership conference, the student-athletes
will be asked to share their
experiences and topic discussions
with their campus student-athlete
advisory committees, as well as
other campus leaders. The
participants are also asked to
develop a strategic plan that will
address or solve an issue on their
campus or in their community, and
implement the plan when they return
to their campuses. |
