Leadership and Memories

Last Thursday night the Randolph-Macon campus had the opportunity to listen to Pat Williams, Senior Vice-President of the Orlando Magic, speak on "Moral Foundations for Sports, Business, and Life."  He was a dynamic speaker as he sure has had a lot of experiences dealing with people from all walks of life and around the world.  He has authored over 75-books.  That is some serious writing!  Blackwell Auditorium was filled and many of the athletes in attendance learned the 7-essential components to leadership.  I am sure as the captains, the seniors, we coaches, and anyone else who believes they are a leader reflected on those 7-qualities, we could identify with each one as he defined it.   I also thought about the leaders that have come through this program and how the really great ones had all those qualities or at least enough of them to make a difference with our team.   My memories of them were as meaningful as the talk itself.   At the conclusion of the presentation he was willing to sign any of his books that one had.  The team bought some and we were able to get a picture with him as well. 

Welcome Coach Litton

As usual much has happened since my last post.  Our new class has arrived and have been on a whirlwind with the returning players.  They laugh a lot.  They have fun together.  It is a good sign to see them having fun and being together.  We have also welcomed back Ana Litton as our new Assistant Coach.  She was with the program from 2002-2006.  During that time, we won 3-ODAC Championships, played in 3-NCAA Tournaments including a National Runner-up position and an Elite 8 finish.  I don't know about history repeating itself, but we will believe in it for the time being.  So as you can tell there are many exciting things going on to start the new school year.  Our big event coming up soon is the RMC Golf Open.  It is one of the fund-raisers we do.  We could use your swing.  Check it out at  .  https://sites.google.com/site/rmcgolfopen Come join us for a great day and kick-off.
