The NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference is currently being held at the Disney Wide World of Sports complex and Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Fla. A total of 300 student-athletes will be in attendance at the leadership conference to focus on issues that are critical to them as student-athletes, to embrace diversity and to strengthen unity in sports.
One of these such student-athletes in attendance is Fresno State's Danielle Golden. A sophomore from Los Angeles, Golden was selected from a total of 1,084 nominations from NCAA member institutions that participate in the CHAMPS/Life Skills program. While at Fresno State, her honors include being a Kiwanis Award athlete and a member of the Fall '99 Dean's List.
The mission of the NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference is to provide a diverse group of the nation's top student-athletes an opportunity to actively participate in challenging and thought-provoking activities that will enable them to become better leaders on their campuses and in their communities. As a result of participation, the student-athletes will enhance their communication skills, decision-making and problem-solving skills, critical-thinking skills and collaborative skills. The conference also promotes better communication among student-athletes, coaches, administrators, faculty and communities.
While at this year's NCAA leadership conference, Golden will be keeping a daily journal for gobulldogs.com detailing what happens during each day's activities. These journals will be archived on this page and refreshed every day during the conference.
