SAM Meeting Minutes 01.28.06

SAM minutes for meeting on Sunday January 28th, 2007
Submitted by Ian Holder

• We opened with the "Evolution of dance" video on YouTube by Judson Laippley who was the keynote speaker at the Apple Conference. He spoke on how to prepare yourself for success in an everchanging environment.
• Kyle Rudzinski, Kara Frederick, James Erickson and Meghan O’Leary talked about the make-up of the Apple conference. The conference consists of student athletes and administration from over 40 schools that assess and find aspects of improvement for their programs.
• These members concluded that most student-athletes do not know the intricacies of random drug testing, individual team policy, compliance, etc. Thus, they would like to add a section to compliance meetings that would allow the SAMs from their respective teams along with SAMs from other teams to give a presentation stating what SAM’s roles are and present the team policy for drug/substance misuses. This would highlight the process, so that people will be more aware of the consequences of failing drug tests as well as give the student-athletes more of a sense of ownership for the procedures and their actions.
• Kerry Maher talked about hospital visits. She said that they are doing visits again at 1pm on Mondays for any student-athlete, just let her know ahead of time.
• Phil Gates talked about Buford Middle School and chances for community service. Buford requested speakers to middle school-ers as well as people to tutor. It would be preferable if the tutors were in the off-season. He also talked about a community service project for a team interested, ‘Hoops for Heart’
• James Erickson talked about the new outlook of ShootOut. There are new sub-committees that include: fundraising, advertising, marketing for community, marketing for student council, and silent action. The sub-committees will host all of the SAMs in hopes that everyone will participate in Shootout.
• We broke into the sub-committees and formed our goals and objectives leading up to Shootout.
