Champions of Character

NAIA Champions of Character

 
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' (NAIA) Champions of Character program provides training to ensure student-athletes know, do, and value the right things in all areas of life. The five core values: integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership are put into play, accounted for and tracked at all NAIA schools.

The five core values which are emphasized include:
  • Integrity: The internal traits that develop, guide and ensure positive behavior.
  • Respect: The simple act of treating others the way you would want to be treated.
  • Responsibility: The social force that guides an individual to work first for the good of the team.
  • Sportsmanship: The belief in following the rules, spirit and good-natured etiquette of athletic competition.
  • Servant leadership: Dedication to the greater good, for the benefit of all.

As an NAIA institution, Peru State conducts a Champions of Character campus program that includes:

  • Professional development for coaches and athletics administrative staff including completion of the Character-Driven Coaching course.
  • An emphasis on hospitality, proper game management and exemplary conduct in competition.
  • Servant leadership activities that allow student-athletes to engage the community.
  • Ongoing assessment of progress in the program's implementation.
