What exactly does it mean to be a Lasallian Coach and how does it fit with the values of Lewis University.
Discussion that compares and connects what it means to be a Lasallian Coach and the core mission values of Lewis University - Knowledge, Fidelity, Wisdom, Justice, and Association. How can we utilize this connection to create a program mission statement, team core values, and standards that are utilized to drive behavior, development, and success. (This part of the presentation is intended to tie together our values and how they can shape how we do our work).
What are the traits of Lasallian athletes and coaches and how does it direct our coach/player interactions, program plans and most importantly the culture we build within the program.
Discussion that specifies what is different about Lasallian Athletes and Coaches and how they utilizes these traits to create an amazing culture within the program, getting players to buy in and how it impacts anyone that encounters the program. How this methodology crosses over into academics. (This part of the presentation is intended to give concrete examples of how their program builds culture and how that culture permeates the program and the surrounding community).
How can faculty and staff both utilize what it means to be a Lasallian Coach as a method for developing students.
What lessons has she learned as a Lasallian Coach that can cross over to the academic world. As faculty work to develop our students, can we provide them a framework for a different setting (classroom), what are the similarities to our classroom (court or field) and can these shared
values and traits work across campus to impact our students. (This part of the presentation is intended to bridge the gap between Academics and Athletics on a college campus. How can the methods of running an Athletics program translate to the classroom).
