CHARACTER & LEADERSHIP WITHIN SPORTS
The Northwest Conference loves celebrating our student-athletes in and outside of the classroom. Character Development and Leadership are a top priority in the conference, and we want to provide our communities with a simple and efficient way to see character, leadership and sportsmanship of our student-athletes through the traits that make them up.
The Northwest Conference is asking every school to select two of the 32 character traits to show recognition to two student-athletes within their programs for that trait. This will be going on throughout the summer and will include the follow words:
PASSION | APPRECIATION | PREPARATION | SELFLESSNESS | GRIT | ACCOUNTABILITY |
SPORTSMANSHIP | HUMILITY | COMPETITIVENESS | HONESTY | CARING | CONFIDENCE |
COMPOSURE | TOLERANCE | COURAGE | POSITIVE ATTITUDE | SERVICE | ENTHUSIASM |
LEADERSHIP | DETERMINATION | CHARACTER | EFFORT | COMMITMENT | TEAMWORK |
DESIRE | WORK ETHIC | COACHABLE | TRUST | FOCUS | GOOD JUDGEMENT |
PERSEVERANCE | INTEGRITY |
Character and Leadership play an important role in the development and success of our schools, and athletics show them in one of the most polarizing ways possible. Today we are recognizing two stellar student-athletes from Meridian High School!
MERIDIAN HIGH SCHOOL
SERVICE
JP Singh (Meridian)
JP is someone that is willing to go above and beyond for the Meridian Boys Basketball program. Laundry, running the clock during practice, keeping score clock during the summer games. He takes pride in his work and it shows in his enthusiasm to do things the right way. We couldn’t do what we do without JP!
ENTHUSIASM
Hattie Stratton (Meridian)
Hattie is always seeking ways to serve others. In golf this year she volunteered to walk the course with another student so she could compete in a match. In leadership she is always taking on tasks that serve others. As for enthusiasm, there is no one who embodies that more. Enthusiasm for life, for sport, for school, for others.
