Members of the Chenango Valley
Student Athletic Club had the opportunity to attend the Section IV Student Athletic Leadership Conference on March 7. This informative event discussed a variety of topics such as performance, health, and well-being.
Jeter K. & Adelie W.
Chenango Valley senior Jeter King and junior Adelie Wilson were among student presenters during breakout sessions at the event.
Jeter presented on “The Influence of Relationships,” discussing the foundation of what creates a positive team culture that is essential to success - including goals, leadership, respect, responsibility, trust, and communication.
Adelie presented on “Balancing Academics, Athletics & Your Social Life.” The goal of this presentation was to show students the importance of living a balanced lifestyle, and how mental health improves through that balance. Participants heard personal examples and learned strategies to help ensure that a healthy balance is manageable.
In addition to other breakout sessions for student-athletes, the keynote presentation “Applied Performance Science (APS)” was shared by Navy Seals Anthony Page and Jason Larson. This presentation reviewed factors that drive optimum performance for individuals and teams, with a specific focus on resilience, stress management, and mental health.
