What learning experiences can athletics provide? Opportunities to show kindness and feel empathy are definitely on the list. Please check the note below, written by a parent from another school, referring to Freeland runner Lauren LaFond.
I just wanted to take a moment to highlight one of your student athletes. I am not sure of her name, but I did take note of her excellent sportsmanship and compassion toward others during the most recent Northwood Invitational for Cross Country. (The image is attached below)
Watching your student, and a Midland Chemic, support an opponent that was struggling and encourage them to the end of the race was inspiring. But, please know it went beyond that. Both the Falcon and the Chemic came over separately to check on the Dow athlete after the race. Their care for others, without showing concern for their own gain, was admirable.
I am not sure which athlete it was- but I know that as a parent, and a spectator- I was proud and impressed by their effort to go above and beyond for those around them. Please express my thanks and admiration to them personally, but also to the coaching staff and parents that are instilling these values.
Have a wonderful week!
