Student-Athlete Development Conference - Jun 02, 2008 | 10:18:43
posted by: Josh
Last week, the NCAA hosted its annual conference for student-athlete leaders in Orlando. After 10 years of growth, the conference experienced significant changes this time around, specifically in the number of student-athletes that benefited from the curriculum. More than 700 student-athletes came to Disney World for the Student-Athlete Development Conference, eager to learn about the NCAA governance structure, hot issues within the Association and about the effectiveness and important of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committees. Previously, 350 student-athletes had the opportunity to come to the conference. Representatives from the three divisional SAACs led sessions for all conference participants, providing an opportunity for feedback on pressing issues, but also reinforcing the importance of the student-athlete voice in the NCAA structure. On today's podcast, NCAA President Myles Brand discusses the changes to the conference, and the respect he has for student-athlete leaders across the country. Listen to Mondays With Myles 
CommentsI had the incredible opportunity to attend this year's Student-Athlete Development Conference, and it is truly an experience of a lifetime to attend something of this magnitude. Not only did I learn about the NCAA and discuss hot issues concerning Student-Athletes across the country, I learned about myself, and discovered how I can be an affective leader. I loved set-up and how it allowed so many athletes the opportunity to attend. I'd sure like to learn more about the Conference from someone who attended it. Please email me with the specifics. Thanks! Post a Comment |
  
It means that two very good teams with very good coaches made it to the final game.
