Diamond Award Winner Need a Professional very once in a while, you hear something that is brilliant. I just experienced this. 2 0 1 7 marks the 50th anniversary of Sher idan College. Friday, September 2 9 , I had the opportunity to attend Sheridan' s Athletics department' s Night of Champions, a celebration of Sheridan' s sports teams over the years. The event honoured teams that have won Ontario and national champion ships. I spent two wonderful years studying busi ness and participating in sports at Sheridan. For many students, sports are a very impor tant part of the learning process. Athletes set goals, train hard, develop strate gies, and practice teamwork. It is a combination of thinking, discipline, and execution. These are the same skills that prepare stu dents for the real world. Learning does not just happen within the four walls of a classroom. All aspects of learning combine to allow stu dents to reach their maximum potential. During the evening, it was announced that Peter Watson Guest Contributor after many years of dedicated work and donor generosity, there was a fund for athletic scholar ships. Now all students participating on any of the college teams receive a school scholarship, al though that amount is not very high. Now for the best part. The amount of scholarship funds received by each student athlete is directly related to the academic success of the student. As a result, a less skilled athlete would receive more funding than their team captain, if their grades were higher. Sheridan recognizes that course work is the priority in education. They also believe that sports and teamwork augment that learning. The importance of prioritizing course w ork is communicated to all athletes. That message will be heard by other students, too. There are many ways this strategy could be used by individuals regarding their personal hnances. For example, if your objective is to pay down personal debt, set a goal that vacation or enter tainment spending is linked to achieving a tar geted amount of debt reduction. Similar to how receiving Sheridan athletic scholarship funds is tied directly to success with course work. After hearing this scholarship message ex plained to all who attended the Night of Cham pions celebration, I had one thought. Sheridan College sports...
