• Prerequisites: Coach Recommendation

Course Description: Course will be one semester long (0.5 credit). Class would be capped at 20-25 students per semester to begin. This course will focus on leadership and sportsmanship, and how they relate to athletics. While some effort will be specific to athletes, the course will indeed provide a student with the necessary skills to lead in their community, workplace and program as an end result. Another main point of focus will be placed in developing and maintaining a positive mindset. Students will gain knowledge into study habits that are unique to athletes, the necessary skills in maintaining good grades during seasonal events, and the importance of a well-rounded, successful student in the college application process. The class will involve an online Leadership course from the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), and will incorporate discussions with college recruiters and coaches designed to guide students in their college endeavors.
