On January 28, 2016, Nebo School District held the Captain’s Academy on leadership and sportsmanship. Captains’ Academy is held three times each year and includes captains from junior high and high school. Winter Captain Academy includes boys’ basketball, girls’ basketball, wrestling, boys’ swimming, girls’ swimming, drill team, and band.
Nebo School District’s athletic coordinator, Mike Brown, said, “This Captain’s Academy was very successful as we focused on leadership and sportsmanship. We asked the student athletes to find ways they could influence individuals, their teammates and classmates to become school leaders.”
Athletic coordinator Mike Brown and Assistant Superintendent Scott Wilson started the academy by welcoming student leaders from 12 schools across Nebo School District. Wilson introduced being an individual leader and captivating stories of personal leaders in his life.
Brown led a discussion on “What is a leader?” Then, the students worked in groups to answer the questions, “What is a leader?” and “What is the role of a captain?”
Springville High School’s athletic director, Mark Binks, and vice principal, Scott Johnson, led a discussion on how to instill sportsmanship in their schools.
All of the Student Captains sit at individual tables with their peers from other junior high and high schools. They listened to each present, and then work collaboratively to present back to the entire group their position and ideas.
Andrew Weeks, athletic director, at Payson High introduced “Taking Care of You” and the athletic trainer’s role in schools.
