CHAMPAIGN- PROJECT ATHLETES participants are stepping up as leaders within their Locker Room as part of PROJECT ATHLETES' Leadership Series. The Leadership Series is part of PROJECT ATHLETES 12-week programing structure. The Leadership Series started this week at the Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club in Champaign, IL.
Coaches mentor participants on the life skills of leadership, what it means to be a leader as an athlete, and how to apply it to their life. Next, the athletes apply what they learn. The athletes separate into teams and are given an opportunity to be a leader among their peers. Team captains lead their teams. The camaraderie, positivity, and watching the teens step up as leaders is truly inspirational.
