On Thursday, March 20th, Coach Antoine Wooten Jr. came to Pontiac Jr. High to speak to students on Identity, Value, & Character “Awareness” Sports & Athletics go deeper than the stats, the flashing lights, and the fame— Who are we outside of the our performance on the field or on the court? Who are we outside of training & social media? Are we aware of our True Identity & Value? “More than an Athlete” is an In-Depth, philosophical analysis of who we are not just as athletes, but students, coaches, teachers, parents, & holistic human beings. MORE THAN AN ATHLETE: IDENTITY BEYOND PERFORMANCE “TALENT opens the door…DISCIPLINE takes you through it…CHARACTER keeps you in it”-- Here are a few videos from that day! Thanks for speaking with our students.
