Student-athletes discuss their leadership assessments and creation of service projects
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou's Tiger Leadership Institute continued its teachings with its latest meeting on Monday, Oct. 19. The session featued time for Mizzou's student-athletes to discuss their 360 degree assessments and also lay further groundwork for each crew's leadership projects.
The 360 degree assessment, designed by Dr. Gregory Holliday and Dr. Ty-Ron Douglas, allows the student-athletes to receive feedback from their peers and coaches on their leadership styles, values and effectiveness.
Leading up to the unveiling of each student-athletes' assessment results, Dr. Holliday shared a historical quote of significance with the group.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."-Theodore Roosevelt
After time well spent on each crew's leadership projects, Mizzou women's basketball senior guard Lindsey Cunningham (Columbia, Mo.) had one final task for the group. Posing for a picture, TLI sent its thoughts and support to Rhyan Loos, the 5-year old daughter of assistant men's basketball coach Brad Loos who is battling cancer.
