County Athletes And Coaches Participate In Summer Institute A group of nine Brunswick County high school students and coaches attended the annual Stu dent/Athlete Summer Institute last week at Mount Olive College. West Brunswick students Yates Gupton, Mark Jcsscn and Kristy Poulos were among those attend ing, along with Lady Trojan bas ketball coach Brcnda Council and tennis coach Marlie Gillis. Participating from North Bruns wick were George Beasley, Sharod James and Dwain Waddcll, along with Scoipion wrestling coach Mike Dumas. The Institute began in 1986 at Appalachian Stale University and, due to its popularity, has been ex panded inio i wo different locations in the state with the help of the Alcohol and Drug Defense Divis ion of the State Department of Education. "The goal of the program is to function as an early prevention-in tervention measure for athletes by encouraging and leaching deci sion-making skills, communication skills, promoting healthy lifestyles and gaining an awareness of risks of substance abuse," said Gillis. j t "The long-range goal is to pre pare participants to use their posi tion and visibility as athletes to or ganize and implement activities in their school and communities," added Gillis. "The development of this action plan is an integral part of the institute's programming." The Brunswick County Action Plan developed last week by the local participants features inter school friendships at West and North Brunswick off the playing Held rather than fostering intense rivalries. The athletes from North Bruns wick expressed the desire to begin a Fellowship of Christian Athletes Huddle. Because of the interest. West Brunswick FCA members will now aid in the organization of the club. As result, the athletes proposed that one huddle (meeting) a month be held jointly with the South Brunswick FCA club as a way to begin building friendships between die schools. ***** The week-long camp included activities from 8 a.m. each day un til midnight. Instruction in sports ~b WEST BRUNSWICK'S KR1STY VOVUiS keeps her balance on one of the obstacles of the ropes course at the Student/Athlete Summer Institute last week at Mount Olive College. The course featured a series of similar challenges that required participants to work together to overcome the obsta cles. mcdicinc, injury prevention, nutri tion and the addiction process. Other activities were featured to introduce "new" sports to the par ticipants including archery, lac rosse, racquetball and team hand ball. Group time was spent working on leadership skills, value clarifi cation and other personal growth skills. The highlight for most involved was a day on the "ropes course", an activity designed to offer a se ries of obstacles and problems where the athletes must work to gether in order to complete the challenges. While most of the course chal lenges were group-oriented, the fi nal obstacle, the zip line, was a to tally personal event. Participants were required to climb over 50 feet up a tree, cross a 100-foot steel ca ble with only guidelines for bal ance and then jump off a platform tiding a cable 150 feet into the woods. "Relying on their ROTC skills, Yates and Mark had no problem but Sharod and Kristy succeeded in overcoming a concern for the height of the challenge," said Gillis. "By the week's end, the ath letes had come together as a group, working with and trusting people who were oncc complete strangers." ***** Brian Davis, team captain of the 1991 national champion Duke University basketball team, was the Institute's guest speaker for the second straight year. "Brian's address focused on set ting goals and encouraging the par ticipants to push themselves to achieve them. He also warned the athletes that relying on athletic ability alone to get them success in life was not a wise choice because so few athletes can be stars." "Brian used himself as an exam ple in that he plans to enter politics after graduation at Duke," ex plained Gillis. "He told the athletes present that basketball for him was a craft and not a vocation." Hill remained at the Institute for the remainder of the week giving those attending plenty of time for pictures and autographs. ***** Applications for the Summer Institute (SAS1) arc sent to each high school athletic department in North Carolina in February or March for the upcoming summer. The only requirements for pros pective participants arc that the athletes show leadership potential, be good students and that a coach commit to accompany the ath lctc(s). The coach's commitment is vital bccausc of the importance of the action plans developed during the camp.
