How the Student-Athlete Leadership Team (SALT) teaches real-life leadership skills
@jacsaintj
There are many clubs at Springfield College that teach students leadership skills and tools to take into their future careers. One in particular, the Student-Athlete Leadership Team (SALT), works with a handful of the Pride’s athletes from each athletics team. SALT is led by NCAA Faculty Athletic Representative and Associate Professor of Sports Management and Recreation Bob Accorsi.
The club is designed to shape current leaders involved in Springfield Athletics. According to their webpage on SpringfieldCollegePride.com, “the foundation of this group is to have a presence in the surrounding community, with the goal to become the national model for how student-athletes can make an impact outside of their competitive arenas.”
