🏅 Our fall team captains came together this morning for our very first Captain's Breakfast! Student-athletes learned what it means to lead, discussed their roles as captains, and worked through real-life scenarios to strengthen their skills. Beyond the lessons, they enjoyed building camaraderie and connecting. We’re proud of these leaders who will help set the tone for a great season ahead! 💪
