Jacksonville, FL., -- In the world of collegiate sports, growth and opportunity are key for those who want to make a real impact. For Athletics Administrative Coordinator Tyla Plowden and Assistant Baseball Coach Cody Crawford, their dedication to excellence both on and off the field has led them to an incredible opportunity.
Both Tyla and Cody have been selected to attend the NCAA Emerging Leaders Seminar (ELS) taking place from February 5th-7th in Indianapolis, Indiana, an event that brings together young professionals from across the country who are passionate about advancing in collegiate athletics.
The ELS is one of the most prestigious events of its kind, designed to help rising stars within NCAA athletics develop the skills, network, and vision needed to lead at the highest levels. Being selected for this seminar is no small feat, as it requires individuals to demonstrate leadership potential, a commitment to their careers, and a desire to make a positive impact on the future of college athletics.
For Tyla, this seminar is a valuable opportunity to further develop her leadership skills and engage with influential figures in collegiate athletics. As a key member of the operations team, Tyla has been instrumental in keeping the athletics department running smoothly, handling everything from administrative tasks to ensuring the success of the program. This experience will allow her to deepen her leadership strategies and explore new ways to elevate the student-athlete experience at EWU.
Cody, a rising star in the baseball world, has earned this opportunity as recognition of his growing role in shaping the next generation of athletes. As an assistant coach, he has worked tirelessly to support the team's success, both in practice and in the community. His dedication has earned him the respect of his peers and the players he mentors, and now he'll have the chance to learn from some of the top leaders in collegiate sports.
As they prepare for their trip to Indianapolis, both Tyla and Cody are excited about the opportunity to grow in their roles. The seminar will feature workshops, networking events, and keynote speakers, all designed to prepare them for leadership roles in collegiate athletics. It's not only an opportunity for personal development but a chance to bring back new ideas and insights to further improve EWU Athletics.
This achievement reflects the strong culture of growth and leadership within Edward Waters University's athletics department. Both Tyla and Cody are proud to represent EWU on the national stage, and their selection to the NCAA Emerging Leaders Seminar is a testament to their hard work, passion, and dedication to the sport and their community.
We can't wait to see the impact Tyla and Cody will make as they continue to inspire and lead at EWU and beyond. Congratulations to both on this remarkable accomplishment!
