On Monday, September 3rd, the Providence Christian College student-athletes, coaches,
and department staff attended the 2nd Annual Student-Athlete Summit. The day included three sessions led by Providence staff and a fourth session led by Dr. Angela Robles, who is the founder and owner of the Forza Institute.
The final session, Clifton StrengthsFinder, was
a favorite among student-athletes and coaches. Participants were led by Dr. Robles in an activity where they explored the results of their strengths assessments as a team. Student-athletes enjoyed learning about the 34 different strengths that they and their teammates possess while gaining a better understanding of their team dynamics. “I really thought that the strengths session was so helpful because I learned more

about myself and my strongest characteristics, as well as my teammates,” said Brooke Hutchins ’22, a member of the women’s golf team. She went on to say, “knowing each other better, this experience will help our team grow.”
After an informative, interactive day in the classroom, student-athletes and coaches went to Laser Island in Placentia, CA where they participated in a fun night of laser tag, mini golf, and pizza!
Coach Rix shared his testimony and stayed long after the gathering to encourage Providence students to continue their growth in Christ.
