Parents, athletes urged to attend upcoming programs

Fergus High School and the Golden Eagle Booster Club invite the public to attend one of two free presentations by Rob Miller, of Proactive Coaching, on Aug. 26.

This nationally known program has researched athletic programs and athletes from the younger kids to the college level. They have a great understanding of what motivates athletes and what makes a successful program.

The first presentation, at 5:30 p.m., is entitled “Life Lessons for Athletes” and is available for athletes at the junior high and high school levels and coaches at all levels.

The second presentation, at 7 p.m., is “The Parents’ Role in Athletics,” which outlines how parents can help make their child’s participation a rewarding experience. We are requesting parents of current FHS athletes and encouraging parents of future athletes to attend this presentation. There will be two adult season passes given away as door prizes.

The administration at FHS became interested in bringing a presenter from Proactive Coaching when they heard the company’s founder, Bruce Brown, speak at last fall’s Montana High School Association conference.

Brown has traveled the nation speaking to colleges and high schools about athletics. When the FHS administration heard there would be a presenter from Proactive Coaching in Montana, they jumped on the opportunity to bring him to Lewistown. The Booster Club has been willing to assist with the cost and thus there will be no admission charge.
