Scott Highmark interview on sportsmanship

Former St. Louis University basketball star Scott Highmark will deliver the keynote address for the 2012 St. Louis Youth Sports Summit. Aside from playing Division I basketball, Highmark has extensive experience in youth sports as a coach and parent. He was interviewed last year by Melenie Broyles on her How Not 2 Act radio program. Click on the following link for the show's podcast - Good Game, Good Game. Really? Really? Highmark's portion picks up at the 16:00 mark. He provides a very interesting take on how a potential Division I athlete was not recruited by several schools because of his father's behavior at games. Of course, you can hear Highmark for yourself at the 2012 St. Louis Youth Sports Summit. The event will take place on Saturday, January 14 beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Maryville University Auditorium and is free to all coaches and parents.

In addition to Highmark, breakout topics will address Coaching Leadership, Sports Parenting as well as free CPR training from the American Heart Association. Free parking and a complimentary continental breakfast will be provided. You can register by clicking here or calling 314-345-5130. The St. Louis Youth Sports Summit is a program of the St. Louis Sports Commission's Sportsmanship Initiative - which creates more positive environments for kids to play sports so they will remain active and lead healthier, happier lives.
