A
Amplify a unified team environment
D
Demonstrate integrity in your character & decision making
​
Selected individuals will be responsible for the following:
01
Oversee a "mini team" of athletes during warm-up and cool-down sessions at practices
02
Lead discussion questions (provided) with your mini team at the end of each practice.
03
Assist in storing equipment at the conclusion of each practice
04
Volunteer at the OTM Mary Birdwell Memorial Meet on Saturday, May 31st at Hoover High School (when not competing)
05
Read provided book and participate in a biblical based discussion on leadership after practice for roughly 30 minutes one time a week. For reference, the 2024 season book was "Make Your Bed" by Admiral McRaven. The 2025 season book will be "Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations" by the Harris brothers.
LEAD OTM members will have the flexibility to choose between training alongside the team or assisting in coaching areas during practices. As a part of the LEAD team, athletes will receive an OTM jersey and LEAD team t-shirt. They will also accrue volunteer hours for their involvement. This presents an excellent opportunity for student athletes to accumulate community service hours, enhance their college resumes, and actively contribute to track and field community while refining skills in their preferred disciplines.
