Nebo’s Captains’ Academy Winter 2019
Athletic leaders from secondary schools in Nebo School District gathered on November 20, 2019, for Captains’ Academy, a program implemented to increase communication and friendship among student athletes and encourage sportsmanship and leadership.
Nebo School District held the Captains' Academy for all Nebo Junior High and High School sports captains participating in winter sports. This event, held three times a year, helps the student athletes focus on leadership and sportsmanship. The sports represented in the winter academy include boys’ and girls’ basketball, wrestling, drill, boys’ and girls’ swimming, band, and debate.
The student athletes were first welcomed by Dr. Everett Kelepolo, principal at Springville High and then heard from Dr. Matt Swenson, MD, on how to train appropriately. Student athletes soaked up the valuable information presented by Dr. Swenson on appropriate training.*
The sport captains learned about leadership and sportsmanship from various leaders in sports and education including: Dave Boyack, Tona Graff, Jeff Nelson, and Steve Dudley. During this discussions the students collaborated to answer questions such as, “How can we as leaders instill sportsmanship at our school?” and “How can we instill better sportsmanship with the students?”
All of the student captains sit at individual tables with their peers from other junior high and high schools. They listen to each present, and then work collaboratively to present back to the entire group their position and ideas.
Everett Kelepolo, said, “Through Captains’ Academy, we hope students get a better idea of what it means to lead and the role of sportsmanship in athletics and activities. We hope the student leaders who attend Captains’ Academy will take what they learned and support others in their school.”
Congratulations to Darrell Wyatt for answering this week’s “Where are we Wednesday?” challenge sponsored by Wiggy Wash.
