This innovative coaching fellowship, presented by the Mississippi Association of Coaches (MAC), the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA), and the University of Mississippi’s School of Education (UM SOE), seeks to select and invest in 25 future leaders for our state in the area of high school and middle school athletics. All 25 candidates were identified by a selection committee, and represent the best the state has to offer.
The coaching fellowship seeks to assist in three areas of growth for each candidate:
Coaching the Whole Athlete (Leadership, Resilience, Empathy, and Responsibility) - Each participant will be able to implement all sessions’ materials at their current school and share with their colleagues.
Opportunity to network with 24 of their peers who have demonstrated the capacity to be our state’s future leaders in athletics.
Access to current leaders in the MHSAA, MAC, Higher Ed, College Athletics, and “potentially” Pro Athletics to learn how they can grow their spheres of influence in their communities and across the state.
Mission
The goal is for the selected candidates to have this time to deliberately work on their craft in a cohort of their peers, so that ultimately their student-athletes and overall communities benefit for years to come.
