Listen "106 Goals in Mind"
Episode Synopsis
AMDG. For some homeschooling families, St. Paul’s adage about running the race is mostly allegorical, but for the athletically minded among us, it has a literal side too. Today's episode features Faye Starvaggi and Anna Havens, moms of a Kolbe-graduate NCAA swimmer and a Kolbe-student competitive gymnast respectively, as well as Kolbe’s academic services director and go-to guy Everett Buyarski. The group discusses both the philosophy and the paperwork of student athletes: from the discipline and obedience of striving for goals to the requirements for eligibility at the college level.
Mrs. Anna Havens can be heard on Kolbecast episode 81 The When and the How of Online Elementary. Check out episode 36 Embrace the Fifth Day for more about Kolbe’s four-day school week and the ways to make the most of the flexibility that plan affords.
The campus ministry at Texas A & M University comes up in this conversation. Have a listen to episode 85 Vibrant Campus Ministries for an inspiring and uplifting conversation about the good things happening there.
