Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My student-athletes are highly motivated individuals that work extremely hard for a common goal. My boys won the city championship last year and are hungry to make that happen again. They will not quit and this equipment will give them some added excitement and new training routines.

Most of my team comes from middle class families.

One thing they all have in common is their work ethic. They all want to be better, faster, stronger, smarter. Last season these guys came together as more than just a team but as a family. They were successful in their common goal of capturing a city title because of trust, togetherness, belief and responsibility. These values were at the core of their hearts and it is on these values that we want to continue to build on.

My Project

We are requesting heavy ropes, agility training equipment, resistance training ropes and push pads. My students will get to experience a variety of training techniques that will help build their endurance, their agility, their stability and balance and their strength. The various drills and exercises that we can implement using this equipment will break the monotony of the usual workouts and will help keep them excited and interested.

I believe that these donations will help the boys physically, mentally and even socially.

By using this equipment they will be presented with new challenges that they have to conquer. This will of course build up their skills but it will also bring them closer together, as they will have to complete tasks as a team as well. They will motivate each other and push each other to their limits. Most importantly, will also be improving and building their characters along the way.
