Grace Hosts NECC Sportsmanship Summit
WINONA LAKE, Ind. — Grace College and Director of Athletics Chad Briscoe welcomed over 100 student-athletes from 12 area high schools for a Sportsmanship Summit.
The Northeast Corner Conference held the summit on Monday at Grace’s Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center.
Several student-athletes from each NECC school attended the conference, which was designed to educate student-athletes about sportsmanship and character training in athletics.
“We are pleased to be a part of building character at the high school level through the Sportsmanship Summit,” Briscoe said. “We hope it served as a great opportunity to educate and reinforce character education and to help promote the importance of sportsmanship for each student-athlete.”
Students spent the day together working in groups to discuss and challenge one another in sportsmanship and character-building opportunities in the athletic realm. The students participated in a number of team-oriented activities to build camaraderie among the schools in the conference.
The Sportsmanship Summit featured sessions from Roger Grossman, Joey Graham and Briscoe. Student-athletes also took turns sitting on a panel and answered questions in a peer-to-peer teaching environment.
