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.

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.

Institute (SAS1) arc sent to each

The only requirements for pros
pective participants arc that the
athletes show leadership potential,

the camp.
