Builder Coaching Seminar Coming
April 3
Winfield, Kan., March 8, 2024 — Southwestern College students Trey
Abasolo and Jordan Jackson have organized an event, through their capstone
class, called the Builder Coaching Seminar on Wednesday, April 3, from 4:30-7
p.m., in Wroten Hall. There is no admission charge and the public is
invited to attend.
According to Abasolo and Jackson, the seminar is an opportunity for
aspiring young coaches to hear from championship coaches from
Southwestern. The individual speakers are head football coach Brad
Griffin and head baseball coach Mark Carvalho. Griffin has led the SC football
team to two KCAC championships while Carvalho has led two different KCAC
schools to a combined five conference titles.
Panel speakers are head women’s basketball coach Chardonnae Parker, head
men’s and women’s golf coach Marcus Willey, and football running backs coach
Keyshawn Wyatt. After the panel discussion there will be time to mix and mingle
with coaches and other audience members.
“The panel members are all relatively young coaches, still transitioning
from players to coaches,” Abasolo says. “This is an opportunity for many
students to hear from coaches who have been in their shoes. Also, coaches from
around the area can come and gain different perspectives from coaches of
different sports. The seminar will also be a place for students at SC to learn
about current and new classes at SC that can be applied in the coaching
profession.”
Brad Griffin will speak at 4:30 p.m., Mark Carvalho at 5 p.m., and then
the panel discussion with Chardonnae Parker, Marcus Willey, and Keyshawn Wyatt
at 5:30 p.m. Audience members may come and go as they please.
