This past fall, the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) in conjunction with the Minnesota Interscholastic Activities Administrators Association (MNIAAA) and the Minnesota State High School Coaches Association (MSHSCA) released a series of videos and PowerPoints to help illustrate some of the concepts related to Education Based Activities. I would like to share the five main points of the presentation with you. 1) MSHSL activities: * are education based 2) Goals vs. Purpose * Our goal is to win, but that is not our purpose. 3) Future Athletic Participation after High School * Less than 1% will play professionally 4) Value of Education-Based Athletics. Multiple studies show that students who participate in Athletic and Activity programs will; * Do better in the classroom 5) How do we define success? * Did you do your best? If you are interested in watching the video, you can find it on the school website on the left side of the activities page, MSHSL Parent Video. See you at the games! -- Marc Helmrichs, Activities Director |
