Perhaps one of the most important life skills a person can develop is the ability to bounce back after a loss. The best example of resilience at Summer Academy had to be the white team during the “SportsChallenge games”—a sort of SportsChallenge Olympics which divides all 120 student-athletes into four teams: red, white, yellow, and blue. This year’s competitions included dodgeball, Capture the Egg (i.e. capture the flag except with eggs), a water balloon toss, and a dance competition. The white team was in last place after the first event—the dodgeball tournament. Then, the white team bounced back and won the entire SportsChallenge games for the first time ever in SportsChallenge Summer Academy history! Three claps for the white team!
