This week I had a conversation with Elizabeth Perkins. Elizabeth talks about the importance of growing a total person:

As an athlete

A woman of character

A person of faith

A leader of leaders.

Reflection:

Don’t forget the goal of education and development is total person growth, a whole and integrated young person, not just a star athlete.

Elizabeth’s story reminds us that if college sports are on the horizon for your son or daughter, it’s never too early to think critically about what type of environment helps them mature in every dimension of their lives, not just athletics.

If you’re curious about the programs Elizabeth mentions:
