Saturday, June 10, 2006 (9am – 1pm) For more information or to sign up, please call 314-992-0689 or e-mail tfrank@stlsports.org. The 2006 “Good Sports Day” will be held in conjunction with the annual Hollis Thomas Area Youth Football & Cheerleading Mini-Camp. The free event takes place Saturday, June 10 from 9 a.m. - “Good Sports Day” will feature the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Champions of Character seminar from 10 – 11:15 a.m. This program promotes positive character values and provides practical tools for individuals to use in modeling exemplary character traits. Students, coaches and parents will learn that being a champion is not just about winning, but rather making good decisions in daily life. There is a reason why they say, “Practice makes perfect.” Training for life is much like training for sports – you have to build your skills in order to succeed. The NAIA Champions of Character program is designed to instill an understanding of character values in sports and provide student-athletes, coaches and parents the training to help them know the right thing, do the right thing and value the right thing inside and outside a sports setting. For more information visit www.championsofcharacter.org. Rob Miller will be the featured presenter. Miller is the NAIA Director of Champions of Character Initiatives and leads the NAIA's pioneering effort to change the culture of sport through character. He delivers presentations to NAIA and community youth groups about the Champions of Character program, and steers the development of the program for the NAIA. He also oversees the NAIA Alumni Association and serves as regional director for six of the 14 NAIA regions. The four-hour session also includes the Health and Employment Symposium – an event that provides parents and families with many resources. The symposium focuses on health education and preventative measures in areas such as asthma, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, AIDS and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) as well as other common and communicable diseases. In addition, the symposium offers employment, educational and networking opportunities. The event provides one on one interaction with job coaches, academic advisors, invitations to career workshops, learning seminars and financial information.
