What's happening: Our district has partnered with the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) to deliver high-impact leadership training across our athletic programs.
Big Thanks!: Ramsey Schools extends its sincere gratitude to the grantors who made this program possible, including the Ramsey High School Athletic Association and the Ramsey Public Education Foundation, for empowering our coaches and student-athletes to lead with integrity.
On Wednesday, August 19th, over 50 Ramsey coaches and nearly every fall sports captain and senior leader gathered for a dedicated professional development session led by PCA trainer Coach Randy. The morning focused on actionable strategies to foster strong team cultures and elevate student leadership across the district:
🐏 For Coaches: Center stage was the core philosophy of creating "Better Athletes, Better People." Coaches received practical tools to help mentor student-athletes effectively, balancing competitive excellence with character development and resilience.
🐏 For Student Leaders: Fall captains explored what it truly means to lead their peers both on and off the field. Their workshop centered on three key pillars: strengthening themselves, strengthening their teammates, and strengthening the game they play.
What’s next: There will be an upcoming parent night for all grade levels (date TBD) along with winter and spring sessions for student leaders.
The bottom line: This valuable training sets a strong foundation for the upcoming athletic seasons and Ramsey Athletics moving forward.
