CHAMPS/Life Skills
Challenging Athletes' Minds for Personal Success
In 1991, the NCAA Foundation initiated efforts to create a total development program for student-athletes. The Program is based on the following five commitments:
1.
Commitment to Academic
Excellence
To
support the academic progress of
the student-athlete toward
intellectual development and
graduation.
2.
Commitment to Athletic
Excellence
To build
philosophical foundations for the
development of athletic programs
that are broad-based, equitable and
dedicated to the well-being of the
student-athlete.
3.
Commitment to Personal
Development
To support the
development of a well-balanced
lifestyle for student-athletes,
encouraging emotional well-being,
leadership, personal growth and
decision making skills.
4.
Commitment to Career
Development
To encourage the
student-athlete to develop and
pursue career and life
goals.
5.
Commitment to Service
To engage the
student-athlete in service to his
or her campus and surrounding
communities.
The CHAMPS/Life Skills Program at USC-Upstate is based on these five tenets in order to develop each student-athlete into a whole person who will be successful on the playing field, in the classroom, and in life. Click on each tenet above to see how each of them is being implemented at USCUpstate.
